I see this problem on a Dell Inspiron 3630.

Workaround:
The problem is only manifest when the modules are loaded during boot. After booting, I only have the dummy sound card. But if I run `sudo alsa force-reload` my sound card is correctly detected and functions fine until my next reboot.

I added a script to force-reload alsa after boot, and things seem to be reliable enough while I wait for a permanent fix.
