No Audio After Renaming account

[savageplace]

Hi,

With the default kali virtualbox ova.

I went through the following steps to rename the account from Kali to "savage".

#WorkBook
#1.
ps aux | grep 'kali' #see which processes are running under kali
#2.
pkill -9 -u kali #wont let us change account name or dir unless processes are killed
#3.
usermod -l savage -d /home/savage -m kali #changes directory at the same time
id savage # you will see still in primary group kali, we need to change this
groupmod -n savage kali # from primary group kali to savage
id savage # see UUID 1000 group has changed

Now I really dont know enough, but I presume permissions are mapped by UUID.
Also if I dont first login with root, the Desktop environment doesnt launch. So I have this half functioning Desktop Environment.

I'm not sure about searching logs for fault?
I would normally remove and create a new account, in this instance I would prefer to fix it.
I dont mind doing my own research, where would you recommend I start?

Thank you,
Shawn McKendrick
