[Instead of littering https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=954824 with an arguably different bug, replying here to comments 9 & 10 there, and WRT 13.2 specifically] (In reply to Takashi Iwai from bug comment #10)
First off, you must not remove 50-alsa.conf.
When I write "remove" a file in a troubleshooting context, it means remove the filename, not delete the file. e.g. mv 50-alsa.conf .50-alsa.conf.01
This isn't a file YaST create but it's a static system configuration.
Where does it come from? Why do some of my installations have it and others not? On Mageia 5 on the comment 6 & 7 machine, which has working sound (after urpmi task-pulseaudio, but not before), neither 50-alsa.conf nor 50-sound.conf nor anything equivalent exist in /etc/modeprobe.d/ (but in which is blacklisted snd-pcsp and pcspkr).
Try to reinstall alsa.rpm to recover it.
More simply here, cp -a /etc/modprobe.d/.50-alsa.conf.01 /etc/modprobe.d/50-alsa.conf via a simple Shift-F3 in mc.
It's 50-sound.conf that YaST creates. This is the file you can modify.
Putting options snd-hda-intel index=1,0 in it has changed the device priority as expected to 'HDA Intel PCH', but otherwise so far has not enabled sound on Youtube or systemsounds from KDE3/KDE4/KF5/TDE in 13.1 or 13.2 or TW or 42.1.
After that (and setting index=1,0 option in 50-sound.conf) and reboot in runlevel 3, check /proc/asound/cards at first. If the desired entries don't appear in the expected order (first analog then HDMI), anything wrong in the setup already.

If /proc/asound/cards looks correct,
NAICT, it's OK
then run "setup_default_volume -f 0".
