    Audio not working on Kali Linux on HDD.

    Hi, I have installed kali linux on my computer's HDD in dual boot with Windows 10. Since I have installed it the audio never worked, and even if I were to go to the audio settings, on the output devices list it doesn't show any devices at all.
    I don't know what Kali version I have, I'm a newbie about Linux, I have just installed the version downloaded on the official site.
    These are the lspci -v outputs (only audio devices):
    Code:
    00:03.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Audio Controller (rev 09)
       Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Broadwell-U Audio Controller
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 52
        Memory at f731c000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
        Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
        Capabilities: [60] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit-

        Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
        Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel
    I've already tried searching through this forum and some others, I've been searching my problems with google, but no solution found worked. I've tried going to the alsamixer, and no channels are muted, and I've also tried to remove and reinstall pulseaudio, but still nothing.
    Can anyone help me?

    I'm noting you installed alsa-mixer, did you install alsa-utils also? Further, maybe try using a non-root account. Both solutions worked for me with this issue.

    Yes I've installed alsa utils but still the audio doesn't work. Thank you for suggesting using another account, the audio works this way, but isn't there a way to make it work even with root?

    it should be. what's your desktop environment? with gnome you don't need also mixer if you have pulse audio. also...you can try running: alsactl reload (or it may be restart)

    Code:
    pulseaudio --start
    Same thing happened to me. Seems like pulseaudio is just not starting automatically. Mind you, --start is necessary, as just running pulseaudio doesn't completely initialize it.
