    Thanks. After doing some other stuff, I issued your terminal command and it worked!

    My history:
    >I installed Kali Linux 2017.1 on a bootable USB 3.0 flash drive.
    >Kali had no sound and no network manager.
    >Later at a library, Kali recognized my Ethernet connection.
    >Using apt-get, I installed Synaptic.
    >Using Synaptic, I installed Wicd network manager and Mousepad text editor.
    >A huge update using Synaptic ended abruptly (probably my error, a "control C").
    >At the next session I was advised there were broken packages, I followed the instructions:

    >MESSAGE FROM SYNAPTIC:
    "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
    After running dpkg, I continued the Synaptic update: I used "Edit/Fix Broken Packages", and "Settings/Filters/Broken".
    The update successfully morphed my system up to Kali Linux 2017.2.

    >Next, over a few short sessions I did more updates and also installed:
    Konsole, PcManFm, Dolphin, Gedit, and Chromium.
    Need to install Sublime Text 3.

    >I mistakenly thought that Pulse Audio was installed. It wasn't.
    There did exist a folder called "/etc/pulse/" which contained the single file called "client.conf"

    >TO CURE NO SOUND CONTROL IN PANEL AND NO SOUND:
    ->two lines in etc/pulse/client.conf:
    ; auto-connect-localhost = no
    ; auto-connect-display = no
    changed the lines to
    auto-connect-localhost = yes
    auto-connect-display = yes

    >PER advice at: https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/volu...ol-gone/2363/2
    I installed
    ->PAMAN package (Pulse Audio Manager)
    ->PASYSTRAY (Pulse Audio)

    >Still no sound

    >Finally, I used Synaptic to search for PulseAudio. Synaptic advised that PulseAudio was _NOT_ installed.
    Using Synaptic, I installed PulseAudio.

    >Still no sound.

    >I applied your terminal command as follows:
    ==ENTERED TERMINAL COMMAND FOUND AT KALI LINUX FORUM:
    root@kali:~# systemctl --user enable pulseaudio && systemctl --user start pulseaudio

    ==RESULT:
    Created symlink /root/.config/systemd/user/default.target.wants/pulseaudio.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/user/pulseaudio.se

    Created symlink /root/.config/systemd/user/sockets.target.wants/pulseaudio.socket -> /usr/lib/systemd/user/pulseaudio.soc

    >Finally, there is sound. Now I can take the Kali online tutorials.

    You welcome buddy.
    This is the rule of the "systemD" and actually, you don't need from, sound - especially on this OS.
    I take decision to write this script because somehow someone wants to listen to little music sometime
