Briefly describe your issue below:
I recently dual booted Parrot with Windows 10 and everything worked fine except for the microphone. To fix that, I tried this:
rm -r ~/.config/pulse
rm -r ~/.pulse
sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio pavucontrol
sudo apt-get install pulseaudio pavucontrol
When I restarted my machine, none of the audio buttons worked (volume up/down and microphone mute). I even tried firecfg --fix-sound.
What version of Parrot are you running? (include version (e.g. 4.6), edition(e.g. Home//KDE/OVA, etc.), and architecture (currently we only support amd64)
Linux parrot 5.2.0-2parrot1-amd64 #1 SMP Parrot 5.2.7-2parrot1 (2019-08-12) x86_64 GNU/Linux
KDE version
What method did you use to install Parrot? (Debian Standard / Debian GTK / parrot-experimental)
Debian Standard
Configured to multiboot with other systems? (yes / no)
Yes (with Windows 10)

[Update / Solution]
I ended up fixing this issue so here’s an update in case it helps someone.
I checked /var/log/apt/history.log and it turns out sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio actually removed the following:
- gqrx
- plasma-pa
- pulseaudio
- pulseaudio-module-bluetooth
apt-get purge isn’t even supposed to remove dependencies so I have no idea as to why this happened. I reinstalled all the packages and everything worked perfectly. Hope this helps!
