Disclosure: I'm a noob still learning linux

Anyway, I installed Void on my laptop about two days ago and had a smooth install and installed i3 and everything I needed including pulse and alsa. I can't sound to work at all

I run the command "pulseaudio" and I get this. /run/dbus doesn't even exist. I tried using pavucontrol and got this error http://i.imgur.com/bwiA80P.png

I try running start-pulseaudio-x11 and get "E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed."

I also made sure I had everything unmuted in alsamixer.

Would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction, thanks.
