I also had to add "snd" and "soundcore", but now it works.

Thank you!

The audio driver gets loaded by the hotplug scripts (which are
supposed to load drivers when a device is plugged in, but are called
when booting, too). To prevent the audio driver from loading, disable
it in the kernel configuration, or add "audio" to the
/etc/hotplug/blacklist file.
