alsa sound problem(FIXED)

I have been using gentoo for a while with sound working perfectly, i just installed archlinux today and i moved my kernel source over to my archlinux drive and compiled it with the same config everything seems to work fine. i installed alsa-utils and alsa-oss, ran alsaconf, unmuted the chanels in alsamixer, added myself(root for now) to the audio group, made alsa start at boot, and checked that all modules for my soundcard are loaded, but i still cant hear any sound it works fine in gentoo im really puzzled with this. any help would be greatly appriciated.

Don't use alsaconf - remove the lines that alsaconf added in /etc/modprobe.conf...

Udev should be able to setup the soundcard(s) by itself.
