Although the best-known phrase of Kali Linux is "the quiet you are the more you are
able to hear", as a citizen of the planet earth, I apologize and allow myself to break this
rule. As a simple developer, i love to listen music while I work and by default in Kali
Linux 2016.2 the sound doesn't work.

PulseAudio is a sound system for POSIX OSes, meaning that it is a proxy for your sound

between your application and your hardware. PulseAudio is designed for Linux
systems.

You can remove it using the following command:

Purge is identical to apt-get remove except that packages are removed and purged.
Purge meaning that any con guration les are deleted too.

3. Install alsa-base
alsa-base is a package that contains various con guration les for the alsa drivers.for
alsa to work on a system with a given sound card, there must be an alsa driver for that
card in the kernel. linux 2.6 as shipped in linux-image packages contains alsa drivers for
all supported sound cards in the form of loadable modules.

Install it using the following command:

sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-tools alsa-tools-gui alsa-utils

With the execution of the command, the download of the package should start. If it
fails, then you need as rst execute sudo apt-get update. Then execute the command
again and it should work properly.
