Use lsmod to list the modules currently installed into the running
kernel. For each of them that looks like it refers to a soundcard, use:
rmmod <module-name>
on the right-hand side of the list will be some names in parentheses.
You'll need to remove the ones with names there before you can remove
the ones in the parentheses.

Check /etc/conf.modules to see if there's any sound modules referenced
in there. If there are, just delete the lines and save the file.
Hope that helps!
