No file alsa-base.conf

Question

I use the screen speakers. My screen is connected via DVI to my pc, but I have also an HDMI output from the graphic card that I don't use it.
Every time I switch on my pc, a notification pops up telling me that the system is not using HDA ATI HDMI anymore and it will start to use HDA Intel VT1828S Analog.
Looking in System Preferences>Hardware>Multimedia>Phonon, I can see that I have 8 different devices. Here you have a snapshot
>>moderator edit: Removed large image. Read Forum Etiquette: Pasting Pictures and Code. Thanks. --fsckd<<
How can I switch off/disable the devices I don't use them?
I have been reading in the wiki the ALSA article. My problem is that I don't have the alsa-base.conf file in /etc/modprobe.d. In fact, this folder is empty.
How can I generate it?
Thanks in advance.
