no snd module && no alsamixer

Ok, I've got two great problems:
first of all, when I log in kde I have no sound, phonon cannot use sound card. lsmod | grep snd shows that none of the snd module in MODULES section of rc.conf is loaded. EVERYTIME I have to modprobe them manually.
Then i'm not able to load alsamixer, it says "cannot open mixer: No such file or directory" but I'm in the audio group.. don't know what to do sincerely.
I'm using kernel 3.0 from testing, I tried to downgrade udev but didn't work...

Re: no snd module && no alsamixer

Can you play sound from the terminal (I don't mean Konsole - I mean before you boot X).
How do you star KDE?

What are you blacklisting? Can you post your modprobe?

1) no I can't since no snd modules are loaded
2) I use inittab method
3) I don't need blacklisting at the moment, so modprobe.conf is empty
4)http://pastebin.com/xzuC8vXV

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=123456 sounds similar.
lsmod shows fuse, but not r8169 - any idea why?

Yes, I didn't notice that there are new files in /etc/modprobe.d that blacklist mii, r8169 and averything related to sound.. is there a reason?

Can you run 'pacman -Qo' on those files? What package owns them?

So we have some phantom files - they came out of nowhere.
Do you want to reopen https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25308 ?

I think linux 3.0 kernel package owns it, but I can't confirm it.. that's the only explanation..
