As you may know Kali is a specialized distribution not intended for desktop use. Have you tried anything on your own, or considered a different distribution which contains sound already as part of it? That would be the quickest way.

Read this, if you have not already. https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ad-4175614092/

As rtmistler pointed out, Kali is specifically not designed for desktop use and the Kali maintainers state strongly it should not be used for any purpose other than what it's designed for: pen-testing.
