I'm focussing on your sound problem, so I did not test with kali image. 
This command works for me on Windows 10 22H2 using a 
Msys2/Mingw64-Bash-Shell with Qemu 7.1.94:

qemu-system-x86_64 \
 -M q35 \
 -accel whpx,kernel-irqchip=off \
 -m 1536 \
 -audiodev id=audio0,driver=dsound \
 -device ich9-intel-hda -device hda-duplex,audiodev=audio0 \
 -cdrom openSUSE-Leap-15.3-GNOME-Live-x86_64-Media.iso

"-audiodev id=audio0,driver=dsound" defines, how the host provides the sound
"-device ich9-intel-hda -device hda-duplex,audiodev=audio0" refers to 
the sound provider and creates sound devices for the guest.

Maybe the whole command can be a starting point, too.

I did not use "-vga qxl" here, because this implies spice usage which 
adds more complexity because the spice client needs to communicate with 
qemu.
"-M q35" defines a more current computer than leaving it out

Helge.
