Thank you, sound is better than ever
ReplyDeleteYour welcome :)
DeleteYes, it fixes the problem, but what was the problem? And, how does it get fixed by doing what you say to do? Not that I'm ungrateful. Thank your for the fix, but I'm curious, how does it work?

DeleteBy default Kali linux starts with muted sound. SO after doing that all your kali linux will no longer start muted!
DeletePlease help me to resolve.
Deleteyou're life-saver!
DeleteThe above commands are not working
ReplyDelete# rm .pulse-cookie
Delete# rm -r .pulse
# alsa force-reload
1-sure that u are in your home or use this command:rm /home/your username/.pulse-cookie
Delete2-rm -r .pulse is wrong. -r option use for directories.so you must enter: rm /home/your username/.pulse-cookie.pulse
Yay! It worked. thanks Mikael Aleksanyan

ReplyDeleteI had tried absolutely every solution in any forum I could find... nothing worked.. I had accepted that it wasn't going to work. Thank you.
Deleteit erased some files I had. ok my mistake maybe. but there is no color in the shell anymore. and it didn't work. but the most annoying is that everything now is with white chars. no red in the prompt, no colours after ls
