[arch-general] alsamixer doesn't work.

Hi list, I have had this problem for a little while now and haven't been able to find a solution. When I run alsamixer in console I'm getting this error... "ALSA lib control.c:874:(snd_ctl_open_conf) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_ctl_pulse.so alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory" After checking the arch wiki, it said to try and reinstall the kernel, I've tried this and it had no effect on the problem. This problem leads to me not being able to use keytouch as keytouch uses amixer to change the volume and amixer uses alsa, so I just get a bunch of errors when I use keytouch. Does anybody on the list have any ideas on this? Thanks for the help. Jackson
