Based on reading the man page (plus the fact you seem to have all the drivers/devices present), I believe the modprobe.d directory is processed "normally" when the modprobe.conf file is not present.
So much for being able to help. ;(Since some of your programs produce sound and some don't, it could be a configuration problem with them. Perhaps they are pointing to something that doesn't exist?
Other than that lame thought which I expect you've checked, I have no more ideas.
