Hello,

has audio ever worked before? I mean, did it use to work, and then stopped working after you updated Kali?

It works when I boot into MacOS but not when I’m booted in kali.

Do you use the default Kali desktop (ie. XFCE)? Did you install from Kali version 2023.1? And if so: can you try to update the system (with « sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade »), and then reboot.

We're just in the process of changing the audio stack from pulseaudio to pipewire, the change landed in the repo last week. That's why, please let's make sure your system is up-to-date before going any further.

After reboot, please open a terminal an run the command « ps -fp $(pgrep wire) ». This is to make sure that pipewire is up and running. You should get an output similar to

<pre>
$ ps -fp $(pgrep wire)
UID PID PPID C STIME TTY STAT TIME CMD
kali 1969 1936 0 Apr05 ? Ssl 1:43 /usr/bin/pipewire
kali 1973 1936 0 Apr05 ? Ssl 0:01 /usr/bin/wireplumber
kali 1974 1936 0 Apr05 ? SLsl 2:34 /usr/bin/pipewire-pulse
</pre>

Followed the steps, I have pipewire installed now; however, I still don't have audio playing...

And sorry, yes I installed Kali ver 2023.1

I have the same issue

@lilcavvy Are you logged in as root?

@lilcavvy Can you please check whether you have pipewire-pulse running when you type « ps -fp $(pgrep wire) » ? If it's not running, please follow these steps to install it:

<pre>
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo apt install -y pipewire-pulse
</pre>

Then reboot.

Next step: check that pipewire-pulse is up and running, with the command « systemctl --user status -n 100 pipewire-pulse ». Please paste the output here. Thanks!

I'm closing as there was no feedback after more than a month
