hello guys , hope you all fine
i have problem with sound since i started using Kali Linux v 1.0.5
after installing Kali Linux amd64 on vmware workstation even with the latest version (Kali 1.0.6 iso + vmware workstation 10.1) problem was still annoying me
here's such pic after power on the vmware , off course it happens every time i power on it

here's what i tried

sudo killall pulseaudio
sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio-utils gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio paman pavumeter pavucontrol
rm ~/.pulse-cookie
rm -r ~/.pulse
sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-tools alsa-tools-gui alsa-utils alsa-oss alsamixergui libalsaplayer0
reboot
apt-get install kmix


and didn't work as i still get that message from vmware and sound still muted
can anyone have a appropriate solution to help me fix this problem and thanks for this good community

alright i guess Kali Linux (Debian 7) have problem with VIA sound cards maybe
Backtrack or Ubuntu generally doesn't have such problem
i even got live CD for Debian 7.4 amd64 KDE and sound work smoothly like this
