Assuming your (OP's) diagnosis is correct, you can also blacklist the pcspkr module in /etc/modprobe.conf.d/foo.conf
Interestingly, pcspkr is loaded here, but there's no corresponding ALSA device: the only ALSA devices are for true sound cards.
IIRC when I ran into this, my card wasn't loading soon enough, so I *think* the kernel (or ALSA) went "ruh roh, no cards, I'll fall back to pcspkr" and then later the card arrived, so I had amixer -c0 was pcspkr and amixer -c1 was the real sound card. YMMV &c
