I'd like help regarding a problem I'm having with kernel module snd_seq_midi. Until sometime in March this module was being automatically inserted; that's no longer happening. The module is still present and can be manually inserted with modprobe.
I know that snd_seq_midi is part of package "linux" but I don't know what's responsible for automatically inserting the module. I'd appreciate any information as to how I can find out.
The issue may have started with my update of linux to 3.19.2-1 on March 21. Today I updated linux to 3.19.3-1 but that didn't solve the problem.
It's also possible that the issue is related to ALSA; I updated alsa-lib and alsa-utils to 1.0.29-1 on March 10.
I'd appreciate any help regarding how snd_seq_midi used to be automatically inserted, or general information regarding how automatic module insertion works. Thanks.

the wiki explains kernel modules here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_modules alternatively(though perhaps unecessary/ill-advised?) you could load the module early by adding it to mkinitcpio.conf and rebuilding your kernel. you can search "mkinitcpio, arch" for the arch wiki page on that. good luck.
