Kali Linux No Sound

Kali Linux No Sound

I mistakenly removed The ALSA config because of this guide . There is now no sound icon, as well no sound.

If I try to install the ALSA package from terminal I get the following error:

sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-base-udeb alsa-firmware-loaders alsa-oss 

alsa-source alsa-tools alsa-tools-gui alsa-utils alsa-utils-udeb alsamixergui
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package alsa-base is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'alsa-base' has no installation candidate

You can't get them from a repo, you have to get them from here and build it from source.
