Well, it seems the snd_hda_load line is commented out ;)
Also you don't need to add sound_load="YES", just by adding 
snd_hda_load="YES" the generic sound module will be loaded as well.
If anything else fails for some weird reason, you can always compile 
sound support into the kernel. Just add these two lines in your kernel 
configuration file:

device sound
device snd_hda

rebuild, reboot, done.
