It likely loads the modules needed for the connected hardware. If you need additional modules:
"Extra kernel modules to be loaded during boot are configured as a static list in files under /etc/modules-load.d/."
$ ls -hAl /etc/modules-load.d/
If I connect a Korg nanoKONTROL additional sound modules get automatically loaded. $ sudo modprobe -r snd_usb_audio [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ lsmod | grep snd_usb $ After connecting an USB MIDI device: $ lsmod | grep snd_usb snd_usb_audio 143298 0 snd_usbmidi_lib 20949 1 snd_usb_audio [snip]
