Steam/proton issues with some games, related to ALSA

Hi, running some games through steam, on slackware -current, many of them fail to run and provide this output;

Code:ALSA lib dlmisc.c:337:(snd_dlobj_cache_get0) Cannot open shared library libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so (/usr/lib64/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
INFO: OpenAudioDevice failed: ALSA: Couldn't open audio device: No such device or address

wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0000000000000000 at address 00007F5DD802B69C (thread 018c), starting debugger...The file however does exist:
Code:> $ ls -lah /usr/lib64/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 35K May 31 20:15 /usr/lib64/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.soI'm not sure where to look next. So far i have tried:
* reinstalled all base packages
* deleted ~/.steam for a fresh install
* switched to pipewire

But no changes from trying all of this. Wondering is anyone else getting this issue? And anything else i could try? Thanks.
