some problems.. sound + battery

hii all, i have installed archlinux on my laptop..
i installed kde... i think that kde doesn't recognize that i am using laptop...
he does not show battery bar, and power settings are missing..

in addition, i don't have sound in my laptop..
i check alsamixer and everything is turned up...

my laptop is msi ex620...

Re: some problems.. sound + battery

Have you unmated all the needed channels? Are your headphones plugged in? Any errors in the logs? What's the output of 'lsmod | grep snd'?
Which version of udev are you using?

Have you read the wiki on laptop tools and settings: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Laptop ?
