i have two soundcards. one is creative soundblaster live and the other is onboard nvidia soundcard. the kernel modules are snd-emu10k1x and snd-hda-intel respectively. Before the recent updates i used to put snd-emu10k1x before snd-hda-intel in /etc/rc.conf in the MODULES array to force the soundblaster card to be soundcard 0. But after the most recent updates this setting does not work. After going through archwiki and googling i found that either i can put "options snd_emu10k1x index=0" in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf or i can create a custom asoundrc file in my home directory which will serve my purpose. so my question is that is the new udev does not load modules according to /etc/rc.conf ?

It was a change in rc.sysinit. See http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12706

Thank you very much for the information. I spent several hours desperately to find the cause /solution .
