Hi,
I've a fully updated Arch 64b/KDE 4.5.2 (new PC).
My motherboard has a Realtek ALC889 Audio controller, and, in addition I have a Radeon 5600 graphic PCIe card with HDMI output.
I have the on-board audio controller enabled at the BIOS.
Initially, my audio worked fine, till I installed (from Arch repositories) Skype along with required 32b libraries.
My current status, after reboot:
The 889 module is not loaded (see below), only the one included in the graphic card.
When logging in KDE, I do hear the sounds.
Although Skype loads and logs-in fine, I can't hear Skype's test sounds nor does it capture the microphone connected to my motherboard back microphone plug. (Skype options offer ONLy Pulse Audio both for output and capture).
Both alsa-utils and alsa-oss are installed.
Please advise how do I restore full Audio capabilities (along with functional Skype).
Thanks!

I've tried to follow the Alsa wiki of Arch with the following results:

I've tried to modify my /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf to the following but, during boot, noticed a message saying modprobe ignores the option due to an error. The same happened also after omitting the "index=0" per the Wiki's recommendation.
# /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels)
#
options snd-pcsp index=2
# disable autoload of ipv6
alias net-pf-10 off
# added by miki
options snd_hda_codec_realtek index=0
options snd-pcsp index=1
