How to disable sound card in Linux Slackware

I want to disable sound on my Linux Slackware 14.1 machine by unloading the kernel modules responsible for the sound card.

Here are the modules:

Code:

# lsmod | grep snd

snd_intel8x0          23649  2 

snd_ac97_codec        89231  1 snd_intel8x0

snd_pcm                62870  2 snd_ac97_codec,snd_intel8x0

snd_page_alloc          6062  2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm

snd_timer              14870  1 snd_pcm

snd                    44159  8 snd_ac97_codec,snd_intel8x0,snd_timer,snd_pcm

soundcore              4318  1 snd

ac97_bus                834  1 snd_ac97_codec

What commands do I need to run to block the sound modules from loading?

Should work if you get the right module.
