    Kali no sound from speakers - headphones works well.

    Hi,

    I am facing problem with speakers on my new laptop with new Kali installation.

    I have: Lenovo Legion 7 16ACHg6
    Single boot (only Kali), one ssd.

    As the name of the topic, my headphones works (3.5mm jack), but speakers never worked. I think, it is not hardware problem, because the laptop make some beeps during pressing numpad with numlock off while booting. After boot, speakers never worked.

    Here I have some debug info what I expect is needed:

    Code:
    └─$ pulseaudio      
    W: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Stale PID file, overwriting.
    E: [pulseaudio] socket-server.c: bind(): Address already in use
    E: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to load module "module-native-protocol-unix" (argument: ""): initialization failed.
    E: [pulseaudio] main.c: D-Bus name org.pulseaudio.Server already taken.
    E: [pulseaudio] bluez5-util.c: GetManagedObjects() failed: org.freedesktop.systemd1.NoSuchUnit: Unit dbus-org.bluez.service not found.


    Code:
    └─$ sudo systemctl --user status pulseaudio
    Failed to connect to bus: No medium found
    


    Code:
    └─$ sudo apt install pulseaudio    
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree... Done
    Reading state information... Done
    pulseaudio is already the newest version (15.0+dfsg1-4)
    


    Code:
    └─$ sudo nano /etc/pulse/daemon.conf 
    daemonize = yes/no (I tried both variants)

    I also tried
    Code:
    alsactl restore -P
    that helped me with troubleshooting on desktop pc with Ubuntu.

    What I have red somewhere, pulseaudio is user-based service. Unfortunatelly I do not see this service in list of running users services:
    Code:
    systemctl --user status | grep pulseaudio
    (result empty string/nothing)

    I also checked pulseaudio gui in settings manager, where I can see sound bar with output sound, see screen.

    Anyone has any ideas what can be a problem, or how can I start the service running as user-based service if it is that problem?

    Soooooo, I just fixed it. It is more easier than you can expact. I just simply purged pipewire-pulse following the website: https://www.kali.org/docs/troubleshooting/no-sound/

    Check if the pipewire-pulse is installed:


    kali@kali:~$ apt list --installed | grep pipewire-pulse

    WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

    pipewire-pulse/kali-rolling,now 0.3.51-1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
    kali@kali:~$
    and remove it:
    kali@kali:~$ sudo apt purge --autoremove pipewire-pulse
    [...]
    kali@kali:~$
    kali@kali:~$ sudo reboot
