The su puts you in a super user shell.
You can execute that command first and then execute a several commands
without the need to prefix the others with sudo.

I think sudo is more advisable for some reason though.

That would be a problem
There's probably a better way of doing this but could you type:
lsmod | grep -i 'snd-hda-intel'

should be able to see what is using it.
Modprobe doesn't seem to want to let it be unloaded for some reason.
