That will list modules that are installed for the kernel, but will not
verify which modules are being loaded. Try using

# lsmod |grep "lirc"

to see which lirc modules are actually loaded.

# service lircd status

can sometimes produce useful information, such as whether the lirc
subsystem is locked.

Do you still have a valid lircd.conf for the remote?

Another thing to check after having confirmed that the lirc_i2c and
lirc_dev modules are loaded is whether you still have the correct lirc
devices:

# ls -l /dev/lirc*
