[SOLVED] Asus Xonar DG, cannot change volume

Hi, my new soundcard Asus Xonar DG is working fine in arch, except i can't change the volume anywhere. I'm using ALSA. Onboard sound is disabled in BIOS.

EDIT: Solved by installing pulseaudio.

My speakers have a physical volume control, but my headphones don't have them. What can I do?
