I had the same issue. This is what I did to fix it. I ran the following command:

pulseaudio

And then my sound was back. It looks like pulseaudio doesn't startup whenever Kali starts up.

[newbt40]

I have the same problem.
Could anyone can help with this ?
Thank you!

i removed ~/.config/pulse

and pkill -9 pulseaudio

restarted pulseaudio .

in system setting sound , there are still no devices for select .

Well that's what I did to solve my problem.

1 : (If you didn't do it yet) --> apt-get remove pulseaudio
2 : Once removed --> apt-get install pulseaudio
3 : Once installed --> run the following command: sudo pulseaudio. Your terminal will hang on so just close it. Normally, you'll see the sound icon automatically reappearing.

Tell me if it works for you.

sudo pulseaudio

finally , i solved the problem .

the steps details as followed .

1. apt-get remove --purge alsa-*

2 apt -get remove --purge pulseaudio

3 . Downloads the following package
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Download

alsa-firmware

alsa-lib

alsa-plugins

pyalsa

alsa-utils

and extract each of them .

./configure
make
make install

for pyalsa

./setup.py build

./setup.py install


after finished each of them .

apt-get install pulseaudio

reboot

start pulseaudio

and unmute master

finally , the voice is coming .

i hope can help someone to solve this problem .

Funny thing is:

audio only does not work when I log in as root. If I log in as another user it works perfectly fine.
Logged into root, I started pulseaudio the way canadianbacon22 said and that works fine, so thx for that!!

BUT: I dont wanna have to do this every time I log in... how can this permanently be fixed??

I think the problem is that there's something inside Pulseaudio that prevents it from running as root, so you'd have to manually start it each time. Also, I found another way to start it...

pulseaudio -D

This way you can close the terminal once you start it

Dear folks,

I'm almost finished doing the following:

1. apt-get remove --purge alsa-*

2 apt -get remove --purge pulseaudio

3 . Downloads the following package
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Download

alsa-firmware

alsa-lib

alsa-plugins

pyalsa

alsa-utils

and extract each of them .

./configure
make
make install

for pyalsa

./setup.py build

./setup.py install


after finished each of them .

apt-get install pulseaudio

reboot

start pulseaudio

and unmute master

However, I get the following error trying to start pulseaudio.

The commands pulseaudio and pulseaudio -D both give the error that pulseaudio isn't intended to be started by root.

Please help me, because otherwise I've done all the steps for nothing.

[alacazam]

My only workable solution has been to start use the command : pulseaudio on every reboot. It's worked, and I would imagine writing it as a script in boot.config would prevent the need to head into terminal each and every reboot.

Could you post the response details when you command pulseaudio ?

try running "pulseaudio -D"

Did this, helped just temporarily though until my 2nd reboot. What permamently solved it for me was this http://hackerzelite.blogspot.com/201...ali-linux.html. It is outdated, but I am sure you need all of the libraries specified in this guide and kmix. After you install kmix set it up to boot on start you'll get it's icon in a tray every time, but the sound should work without your action from now on.

[rebornKidz]

try running "pulseaudio -D"

funny that does the magic, let's see after reboot

[aetos]

1.apt-get remove pulseaudio

2.reboot

3.apt-get install pulseaudio

4.reboot

[CCIEoptix]

Thanks aetos, simple and effective, uninstalling, rebooting and reinstalling did the trick for me with a new install of Kali rolling 2016.2

Audio/video drivers are always frustrating, especially after you've built your infrastructure on top of a distro. With respect to those who advocated removing pulseaudio and reinstalling, this is not really a solution, and the workaround does not persist across reboots. Instead of doing all the reinstalling business...if you do a "ps aux | grep pulse" and "kill <process-ID-number>" I found that audio starts working again immediately (it will automagically respawn the process silently and all the sudden we have sound) without needing to reinstall/reboot anything. Looking into this further, there is no explicit service for pulseaudio (ie "systemctl | grep pulse" returns nothing as there is no systemd unit file) so I suspect that it is probably pulled in as part of the alsa-utils stack (ie "systemctl" and look at the first line). Strangely, attempting to manually restart this service via the "systemctl restart alsa-utils" command (or equivalent systemv service-style command) yields a "service is masked" error which alludes to boot-time modprobe weirdness, and doing a "systemctl unmask alsa-utils" seems to do absolutely nothing. To me this reeks of boot-time DBUS problems. It's kinda pain in the *** that we can't just add a "systemctl restart alsa-utils" or "systemctl restart pulseaudio.service" to our .bashrc file and be done with this silliness, however, it's a simple matter to use awk to create a script to parse out that process ID number from your ps aux output (It's the second feild) and stick that in your bashrc.

As a sidenote, if you're using the amd-gpu-pro driver stack your HDMI audio output will never work, you are stuck with the analog line-in unless you're on Ubuntu or RHEL, or care to compile it from scratch, this has to do with open source licensing nastiness
