[Solved] - Files in /modprobe.d/ seem to be ignored

Question

Hi,
excuse my english.
My problem is that the configuration files in /etc/modprobe.d seem to be ignored by the system.
I want that
-The module "ums_realtek" is blacklisted or loaded with the parameter "ss_en=0"
-The module "snd_hda_intel" is loaded with the parameters "model=acer-aspire-4930g enable_msi=1"
So I put in the /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
[siv@siv-arch ~]$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
options snd-hda-intel model=acer-aspire-4930g enable_msi=1
options ums-realtek ss_en=0
But it doesn't work. Infact after the boot if I see this:
[siv@siv-arch ~]$ systool -v -m ums_realtek
Module = "ums_realtek"
Attributes:
coresize = "7391"
initsize = "0"
initstate = "live"
refcnt = "0"
srcversion = "7211D16D16BECBF334341D5"
taint = ""
uevent = <store method only>
version = "1.03"
Parameters:
auto_delink_en = "1"
ss_delay = "50"
ss_en = "1"
Sections:
.data = "0xffffffffa027c560"
.exit.text = "0xffffffffa027c2c1"
.gnu.linkonce.this_module= "0xffffffffa027c740"
.init.text = "0xffffffffa027e000"
.note.gnu.build-id = "0xffffffffa027c2d4"
.rodata = "0xffffffffa027c300"
.rodata.str1.1 = "0xffffffffa027c3fe"
.rodata.str1.8 = "0xffffffffa027c450"
.strtab = "0xffffffffa027ea88"
.symtab = "0xffffffffa027e020"
.text = "0xffffffffa027b000"
__mcount_loc = "0xffffffffa027c4d8"
__param = "0xffffffffa027c478"
__verbose = "0xffffffffa027c710"
and the option "ss_en" is set to "1" instead of "0"

Thanks root, I checked the mkinitcpio.conf and the hook modconf was there.
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems keyboard fsck"
Despite that I tried:
mkinitcpio -p linux
And now it seems work fine. Both modules load with parameters written in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
Now I have another problem.
I have an Acer  6930g with the 5.1 audio. But the subwoofer not working. I have tried everything with alsamixer.
If i do:
[root@siv-arch ~]# aplay -L
null

I see that I have the ALC888. Surfing on web I found that I have to load the snd_hda_intel with the parameter "model=acer-aspire-4930g" or "model=auto" but it doesn't work.
Suggestions?
Thanks a lot
P.S.
I have Archlinux with XFCE but for few hours I tried KDE and with it the audio worked! Also the mixer integrated in KDE showed me different card (ALC888 digital, ALC888 analog...). Instead XFCE show me only one card that doesn't work properly.
