Summary0008103: Audio/Video Issues w/ PulseAudio & Terminal Beep Disabled
Description

Having Audio and Video Playback issues on Kali 2022.4 kali/rolling with VMware Workstation Pro v17.

Trying different browsers, etc. no luck.

What fixed it for me was the following:
https://gist.github.com/the-spyke/2de98b22ff4f978ebf0650c90e82027e

Install codecs for LDAC (SBC is included out of the box):

$ sudo apt install libldacbt-{abr,enc}2

Install remaining PipeWire packages and WirePlumber as the session manager:

$ sudo apt install \
  libspa-0.2-bluetooth \
  pipewire-audio-client-libraries \
  pipewire-media-session- \
  wireplumber

Notice '-' at the end of 'pipewire-media-session'. This is to remove it in the same command, because 'wireplumber' will be used instead.

Start WirePlumber for your user:

$ systemctl --user --now enable wireplumber.service

The terminal beep was also no longer working due to being disabled via xset b off in the Application Autostart menu "Disable logout beep" ... This disabled all beeps, not just logout beep. Once unchecked that box, the terminal beeps worked again.

Steps To Reproduce

Update to latest kali in rolling ...

Attempt to play video in browser (i.e. youtube)

Beep issue: echo "\a" in terminal did not work

You're right, we'll fix the wording.

Regarding the audio issue now. Pulseaudio is on its way out, being replaced by Pipewire. At some point we'll do the switch in Kali as well (seems like XUbuntu will do it soon as well). We're just not sure what bugs will go away, and what new bugs will appear :)

In any case, at this point, when you have audio issues, installing wireplumber as you did is maybe the best thing to do.

Seems #0008135 has been cloned from this as "private" wrongly and that one should be closed as a dup
