Hi collinm,
my modprobe.conf is empty, and sound works correctly
Try to remove these lines and reboot

Re: modprobe, alsa and rc.conf

i dont remember where but some arch related guide to alsa said not to add any modules to modprobe.conf. i think it was the wiki entry for alsa but might be wrong

mine is empty too btw
