I've done dist-upgrade to kali-rolling and had a little sound problem (All sounds from system only like 'echo -en "\a"' kind of sounds didn't work and also from browser - found out afterwards pavucontrol to fix settings to work),
i was also in a hurry and ran a lot of commands as root and non-root (which is the user i work as most of the time and also log as) while trying to fix things and than i found myself within a bigger problem:
I DELETED all kinds of configuration files of pulseaudio and maybe alsa also, I've removed and reinstalled with apt-get any package that had to do with alsa or pulseaudio,
Now pulseaudio doesn't start on boot (i cant get it to work), volume bars from top/right corner don't work, cause of that also pavucontrol cant connect and i cant set the browser's sound on.
Alsa works fine and im changing the volume setting through alsamixer.
These are related commands i ran and tried, extracted from root/non-root (reader user) ~/.bash_history files (im still clueless of how to reverse it all):
