Hi there,
I had the same problem, then find out that the auto-detect of the headphones-speakers was not working properly....
(Yo ! Kali guys.... What are you doing with the audio ???? Fix this once and for all.... You had problems for years now with this...)
First I did the standard (like you did..):
systemctl --user enable pulseaudio && systemctl --user start pulseaudio
Then also tried the instructions in this link :
https://ourcodeworld.com/articles/re...-on-kali-linux
But what really did the trick for me (especially with the auto-detect audio-plug in/out) was this link below:
https://medium.com/p/7d77f2f3e599/responses/show by Mr. VENKATESH P:
CLI cmds (edit the bash file):
sudo gedit .bashrc
Then simply add these two lines to the bottom of the file, save it and do reboot:
pulseaudio -D
clear
Hope this helps you as-well.
All the best,
Sivan
