i915 belongs in fb-modules. I'm not sure that sound-modules should depend on it, as it's not a hard dependency. Recent Intel sound and graphics hardware also needs non-free firmware which is packaged in firmware-intel-sound and firmware-misc-nonfree respectively. Please check that this is included in the non-free installation images.
