I'd guess that you have a corrupt filesystem and due to an fsck (or something else) the modules are gone. Try doing a "ls -la /lib/modules/2.6.31-ARCH/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko". And this: "pacman -Q kernel26 | grep snd-hda-intel" On Mon, Nov 30, 2009 at 9:57 PM, David C. Rankin < drankinatty@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Guys, > > This is really strange.
