amarok equalizer ?

[kapil]

i realised that amarok sound output is bit low..
where is the equaliser of amarok?
i found this link: https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-membe...4/+archive/ppa
but which amongst them do i need to install?

i find amarok really good, it has good interface: it gives me option to display by album or as file explorer
has good properties editor. if only it had equaliser by default.. it would have been gr8

thanks in advance...

Downgraded the following packages:
phonon-backend-xine (4:4.3.1-4ubuntu1) to
4:4.3.1~svn1037991~karmic~ppa1


Testing - seems to enable the equalizer.

this is sounding greek to me...what exactly do i have to do..
isn't there any simple plugin for amd64 amarok 2.2?

Re: amarok eualiser ?

You need to install the updated phonon-backend-xine.


If you scroll down there is an example.

An example package can be found > PPA for Rog131 >> Package name contains: phonon Published in Karmic

...

The PPA package version number is lower than the official package because:
- then you can't install it by accident.
- some day the ubuntu will release an update. Time will show if it is 4.3.2, 4.4 or something else.

...

Example:

Downloading the phonon-backend-xine package and installing (downgrading) it:
...

Or you could search a PPA repository with a backported (from the Lucid) phonon-backend-xine.

Re: amarok equalizer ?

@rog: i still could not get exactly how to proceed after installing phonon.
anyways.. songbird equaliser could pull the day off for me..

@vinny: okey.. kde 4.4 gave you the equaliser... but is the sound coming from speakers..
i saw many posts with the problem of sound output in kde 4.4
i decided to holdback update untill things become stable.. a bit.

Re: amarok equalizer ?

Re: amarok equalizer ?

I beleve thars an option in synaptic to pin ver. of things.........if your woreyd about it pin the Kernel and then upgrade to kde4.4.0 ...........but im at 2.6.31-19-generic KDE-4.4.0 Amarok-2.2.2 and still reporting it's self as runing on KDE-4.3.2..?......is or is not this the new one ?
