Kali Linux: No Sound Failed to connect to bus: No medium found

[makt]

I have tried following one after one

nano /etc/pulse/client.conf
in the editor I have modified ; autospawn = yes

then next step done is

nano /etc/systemd/system/pulseaudio.service

added couple of lines

[Unit]
Description=PulseAudio system server

[Service]
Type=notify
ExecStart=pulseaudio --daemonize=no --system --realtime --log-target=journal

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

executing following line

sudo systemctl --user start pulseaudio.socket

it returns me

Failed to connect to bus: No medium found


I did also check some options like

/etc/default/grub to make sure it is not blocked by grub while booting
I add GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet snd_hda_intel.dmic_detect=0"

but yes pipewire-pulse also installed
out put:

sudo apt list --installed | grep pipewire-pulse

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

pipewire-pulse/kali-rolling,now 0.3.65-3 amd64 [installed]

I did uninstall it and rebooted pc to see whats happened , nothing changed

Finally, need assistance to get my system audio output sound back, Thanks in Advance

Looks like pipewire-pulse should be removed.

If this package is installed, we will want to uninstall it and then reboot:

kali@kali:~$ sudo apt purge --autoremove pipewire-pulse
[...]
kali@kali:~$
kali@kali:~$ sudo reboot

No sound on Kali 2023.2 | Kali Linux Documentation

Background Starting version 2023.2, Kali Linux uses PipeWire to deal with audio, for both the XFCE desktop and the GNOME desktop. Before that, Kali Linux used another sound server named PulseAudio. (Note: for those who use Kali’s KDE desktop: PulseAudio is still in charge) The change should be...

Try this command as root:

pulseaudio -D

How do I fix sound muted on boot in kali linux?

Answer (1 of 4): I think this will solve the problem : on terminal : systemctl --user enable pulseaudio && systemctl --user start pulseaudio

If that fails check if the sound is disabled and enable it.

It seems like you have already tried some of the common solutions for audio issues in Kali Linux. Another solution that you could try is to reload the ALSA sound driver by running the following command:

sudo alsa force-reload

If that doesn't work, you could try resetting the PulseAudio configuration files by running the following commands:

rm -r ~/.pulse*
sudo rm -r /etc/pulse

Then, reboot your system and see if the audio is working.

If none of these solutions work, you may want to check if any hardware connected to your computer is causing the issue. Try playing audio through a different output, such as headphones or external speakers, if possible.

Let me know if this helps, or if you have any other questions.
