FIX AUTOMATIC SOUND MUTE IN KALI LINUX ON BOOT

If you’ve installed Kali Linux then you already know that the sound option is mute or disabled at the boot. No matter what you do, next time you restart Kali Linux, you will again have sound mute in Kali Linux on boot. You might want to start Kali Linux with a great sound effect (Ka-BOOM!!) or you probably spend a few moments to unmute sound and then turn on the volume. After sometime, this gets annoying and you start looking into the wide world of web (actually the correct term is World Wide Web aka WWW but you already knew that!) and ended up here. So let’s not wait more and get into command line to fix this issue once and for all.

In this guide we will fix 2 things

• Fix sound mute in Kali Linux on boot time.
• Keep that settings and volume from previous session

Fix sound mute in Kali Linux on boot

Follow the steps below to fix sound mute in Kali Linux on boot

Install alsa-utils

apt-get install alsa-utils -y

Update mixer in XFCE

From Volume control

Un-check Exclude Audio
Adjust the Master Volume to your preferences


Update Volume control in GNOME

Note: Readers, please note that the above screenshot was taken in XFCE Desktop, so just because you don’t get confused, I will add GNOME Desktop Screenshots here:

In GNOME Desktop (The default Kali Desktop)

• Right Click on the small volume ICON and select Sound Preferences

Alternatively, you can also go to Applications > System Tools > Preferences  > System Settings > Sound to bring up the same options.

Now you should see the following screen:

Use the Output volume slider to ON, shown similar the screenshot above. That’s it you’re done. Close Sound window.

Finally restart to confirm

reboot

Once restarted, your Kali Linux should retain volume control and this should fix sound mute in Kali Linux on boot. Hope this was helpful to you
