Fortunately you can still install the module for your soundcard. Maybe 
the soundcard configuration program was changed to only manage ISA cards.

All I can see is a lot of commented out lines in your file. For 
comparison, below is my modprobe.conf file. The file is leaner than what 
you have. I have a different soundcard though.

Try booting with enforcing=0 appended to your grub boot loader on boot. 
This will put selinux in permissive mode while you are booting the 
system and should also log the avc denied message if the problem is 
related to security content.

For comparison, my modprobe.conf

cat /etc/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 natsemi
alias snd-card-0 snd-ali5451
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-ali5451 index=0
remove snd-ali5451 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; 
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-ali5451
# I2C module options
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev

The remove snd-ali5451 line above wrapped but is all on one line in my 
config file. My sound works with the above entries.
