Fix Qubes PulseAudio (audio and microphone)
---------------------------------------------
Installing the `kali-defaults` package (which is included in many Kali metapackages including `kali-linux-core`) causes Kali PulseAudio configurations files to be installed that interfere with what Qubes provides. This breaks audio and microphone throughput for that qube.
To fix this, simply do one of the following in the Kali Linux TemplateVM:
### Remove just the conflicting PulseAudio configuration files
1. Remove the configuration files by running the following command:
```shell_session
# rm /usr/lib/systemd/user/pulseaudio.service.d/kali_pulseaudio.conf /usr/lib/systemd/user/pulseaudio.socket.d/kali_pulseaudio.socket.conf
```
### Uninstall the entire `kali-defaults` package
1. Assess the function and contents of the package to see if you need it:
- See description: `apt show kali-defaults`
- See installed files: `dpkg -L kali-defaults`
2. If you determine that the package is unnecessary, then uninstall it
- `sudo apt remove kali-defaults`
Finally, for both of these options, the Kali Linux qube will have to be restarted for these changes to take effect.
