Webcam Mic No Longer Seen By System

I was having a problem where once I booted into windows and than booted into Arch the sound in arch would no longer work becuase the default audio device had somehow been set to my webcam. The first time I experience this issue I nuked and reloaded Arch. After the Second time I did some digging and decided that I might be able to solve the problem by loading the usb audio module later so I modified my /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf to look like the following:

#
# /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels)
#
options snd-pscp index=2
options snd-usb-audio index=1

That solved the problem but now my webcam's mic doesn't show up in Skype and alsamixer, the camera part works though and the mic was working before the "fix".

Specifics on my Setup:

Architecture: x86_64
Webcam: Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000
Motherboard: I don't know the specific model but its a Gigabyte AM2+/AM3 Socket with (I think) a 785 chipset
Windows Version(IDK why this would matter but I'm trying to be thorough): Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

I'm probably going a bit overboard with providing specifics but I don't think it can hurt. Let me know if you need some other information.
