Even after searching for the solution for the last hour, I found the fix
just a few minutes after my original post. Here is the solution:

According to the bug report from alsa-project.org (bug id 0000245), hotplug
is automatically loading the snd-intel8x0m (modem) module. After adding
this module to /etc/hotplug/blacklist, alsamixer and the sound is working
just fine.
