Can anyone help or has anyone seen this issue?

I'm running a different kernel thanks to bluetooth pairing issues >>

Re4son-Kernel for Raspberry Pi 1/2/3/Zero/Zero W (https://whitedome.com.au/re4son/re4son-kernel/)

Even before I installed that kernel no audio was working. It won't work via HDMI or the 3.5mm jack.

Please reply if you have any ideas.

=============================


**Update**

Does anyone know how to fix this issue ?? >>

root@kali:/# aplay -l
aplay: device_list:270: no soundcards found...

If it's not finding a sound device at all, it's probably not going to output any sound.

I got this after giving up on the previous kernel and tried everything I did the first time before I updated the kernel.

Now, my focus is getting audio working via HDMI, no matter what.

Here's the output I get from checking pulseaudio >>

xxxx@kali:~# systemctl --user status pulseaudio

**Update**

I fixed this issue.

ALSA and pulseaudio are definitely required for this to work. Pulseaudio depends on features ALSA has to properly run.

Please refer to this thread >> https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?36941-Unable-to-get-sound-working-on-pi3-Model-B-Kali-Linux for more details.

If you have questions, please PM me and I'll help you.

Aside from the steps we took and the blog suggests there are a few more things one must do.

Good luck to all.
