pulseaudio-equalizer

Uh.. so.. this is awkward.

I moved from Ubuntu to Kubuntu 18.04.
I have the same problem with online podcasts and found this thread.
Installed the eq, put the code at the end of the default.pa file...
soo.. HOW do you access the eq?

So ,,,even though this one dose work ,,,,I got the urge to tinker tonight and inspired by this thread ( https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showth...l=1#post411289 ) I wanted to know if the "qpaeq" would work .

it seams as though it is not included with the pulseaudio-utils package any more so I went looking for it ,,,,,,witch led hear ( https://github.com/pulseaudio/pulsea...rc/utils/qpaeq ) it's ported to PyQt5 ,,,,,, coped the script and saved as /usr/bin/qpaeq ,,,,,,,"chmod +x /usr/bin/qpaeq" ,,,,load the pulse modules

pactl load-module module-equalizer-sink

and

pactl load-module module-dbus-protocol

now an entry will be in the speaker icon in the system tray "FFT based equalizer on built in analog stereo" when you want to use the equalizer just drag the app that your using from the applacations tab and drop it on the eq output ,,,,and launch the "qpaeq" .



this one dose adjust the sound in real time as you adjust the sliders and remembers where you had them set after closing reopening the app .

to make pulse audio auto load the 2 necessary models at system start just add

### Load the integrated PulseAudio equalizer and D-Bus module
load-module module-equalizer-sink
load-module module-dbus-protocol

to the end of /etc/pulse/default.pa

and it's Qt so fits right in

I just looked for this the other day and it has been updated for 16.04

and since my Neon-/dev/stable is based on 16.04 I tried it ,,,,,,,,,,,

http://www.webupd8.org/2013/10/syste...equalizer.html

and it works well @hear ,,,you do not get immediate change when you adjust the sliders ,,,you must click apply to set the change ,,,,,but to have a system wide EQ I can live with it .

yes VLC has it's own EQ and so dose my favorite QMplay2 but Spotify dose not and what about web browser audio and video ,,,well this covers whatever is coming through your sound system.



yes it's GTK ,,,,and I'm using the "Arc-red-dark" theme ,,,,,but it works
