[SOLVED] Pulse Effects Equalizer greyed out

I did an update and I am now seeing that the equalizer in my Pulse Effects is now greyed out, even though it's obviously pulling from the settings where it's on (the slider is in the "on" position). I'm sure there's something simple I'm missing, but I'm not sure what.   Both the on/off slider and the actual band sliders are greyed out/disabled.

$ pacman -Q | grep -i pulse
lib32-libpulse 12.2-1
libcanberra-pulse 0.30+2+gc0620e4-2
libpulse 12.2-2
pulseaudio 12.2-2
pulseaudio-alsa 2-4
pulseaudio-zeroconf 12.2-2
pulseeffects 4.5.0-1
$ 

I currently have check marks next to 'Auto Gain', 'Bass Enhancer', and 'Equalizer'

I had installed everything that was listed on the package page, but it looks like LSP is not listed.  Once I got that installed, it worked.  I took a look at the packages entry in the wiki, but I couldn't figure out how to post/submit a suggestion for the dependency.
