Maybe you also need to understand what you are doing and what the
commands mean instead of brainless copy/paste.

if /lib/modules/2.6.31-ARCH/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko does
not exist, you need to go all the way up to /lib/modules to see what
exist, if anything at all.
You can also just 'find /lib/modules' to display all files in there.

and pacman -Q kernel26 tells you whether kernel26 is installed or not.
It's probably a good idea to check that too, maybe you removed it ?

You also need to check running kernel (uname -r) matches the one installed.

If you want to check which files are inside kernel26 , you have to do :
pacman -Ql kernel26

pacman -Ql kernel26 | grep snd-hda-intel
would be much more interesting and meaningful than
pacman -Q kernel26 | grep snd-hda-intel
which was just a small typo or overlook of Flavio.
