Sound Card Trouble After -Syu

Hello,

I'm really not sure what I've done, but my sound is no longer working, and alsamixer does not detect my sound card anymore.
I upgraded to kernel26 2.6.30.5-1 earlier today and so I suppose that could be to blame. I rebooted into the fallback kernel and the sound still works fine.
I am using ALSA,
SB Audigy 2 [SB0240P] Chip SigmaTel STAC 9721,23

lspci gives me:

06:07.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy (rev 04)
06:07.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy Game Port (rev 04)
06:07.2 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Creative Labs SB Audigy FireWire Port (rev 04)

I also, earlier today, ran the command:

aconnect -x

Could that be related?

I have been reading the forum and reviewing the ALSA wiki, but to no avail.
I am completely at a loss.

Re: Sound Card Trouble After -Syu

Say again, the fallback boot works fine still? There is no such thing in default Arch as a fallback _kernel_ -- the fallback boot option uses a much larger initcpio that has many more modules loaded.

Try an lsmod in both fallback and normal, and report the findings, please.

It doesn't work every time, but after four times rebooting with Fallback it worked.
Here is the regular lsmod:
