Using Pulse Audio to Manage Sounds on Kali.

        PulseAudio is a sound server used for Linux and Mac OS. It also works on Windows operating system. It works like a proxy. The sounds in your applications pass through PulseAudio. That way, you can use various techniques to manipulate these sounds before you can hear them.

PulseAudio can combine sounds from multiple sources (called mixing). It can change the sound format, increase or decrease sound channels. It can also send the sound of one computer to another computer. PulseAudio is basically a very powerful network-based sound server for Linux, Mac OS, and Win32 systems.

In this article, I will show you how to use PulseAudio to Manage Sounds on Kali. In my case, I am using Kali 2021.2. Let’s get started.

Installing PulseAudio on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS:

Linux uses ALSA for sound management by default. You can easily replace it with a PulseAudio sound server.

PulseAudio is available in the official package repository. So it’s easy to install.

You can install PulseAudio with the following command:

$ Sudo apt install PulseAudio

Now press y and then press <Enter>.

PulseAudio should be installed. In my case, it's already installed.

Now reboot your computer.

Using PulseAudio Volume Control Graphical Utility:

    PulseAudio has a graphical frontend PulseAudio Volume Control, which you can use to easily configure PulseAudio sounds graphically.

It is available in the official package repository of Linux, but not installed by default.

Run the following command to install PulseAudio Volume Control on Linux:

$ sudo apt install pavucontrol

Now press y and then press <Enter> to continue.

PulseAudio Volume Control should be installed. In my case, it's already installed.

Now you can open PulseAudio Volume Control from the Application Menu of your Linux.  

               This is the PulseAudio Volume Control graphical utility.
