sound issue, after first 2 login attempts there is no sound

[shadowknight]

hi guys

I have and Intel_HDA_PCH audio card (VT1802)

So I installed Kali 64, my first 2 logins with root gave me sound, afterwards, nothing

• So I thought, lets check if this is system issue or local account issue...(that will determine if it is Alsa or pulse-audio)
• I created another account, administrator account, gave me sound, first 2 boots, after that, nothing

So if anyone else is having the same problem, please post details here, keep this thread alive with sound issues and fixes please

p.s. I might be wrong but what I can derive from this is that pulse-audio is changing a setting or two after 1/2 logins to stop audio output

Black more ops have a few tips for pulse audio issues (enable sound on boot, stop the pulse audio warning)

Maybe one will fix your issue.

same issue here ... with the same behavior patern
I tried to "sudo alsa force-reload"
and the sound came back ...
then gone again
*** ?

Something else that I tried :
alsactl init
and the output was about my hdmi device not the analog one ...

contain of /var/lib/alsa/asound.state looks like it referring to my hdmi out but not
my analog ...


so last thing I tried was :
edit /etc/pulse/default.pa
find the lines processing module-esound-protocol-unix
comment out the complete if statement
add load-module module-native-protocol-uni
as below

### Load several protocols
#.ifexists module-esound-protocol-unix.so
#load-module module-esound-protocol-unix
#.endif
load-module module-native-protocol-uni

then reboot et voila !!!
it work for me, sound is back.
I hope there will be apt-get updates about that... it's freaking annoying...

my system information :

toshiba c850d labtop

uname -a
Linux kali 3.14-kali1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.14.5-1kali1 (2014-06-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux
