Pulse audio equaliser that has presets?
I've used it before in 16.10 but I'm unable to find it for 17.04
I used these commands
sudo apt-get install pulseaudio
sudo apt-get install pulseaudio-equalizer
sudo apt-get install pulseaudio pavucontrol && pavucontrol
Also tried to use PPA for pulseaudio-equalizer
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
and all I got was this (for GUI)
But I want something with more control where I can increase bass and treble or audio frequencies in short
This is what I'm looking for, but I can't seem to find it
After downloading and installing UbuntuGnome 17.04 I added the same PPA you used and installed pulseaudio-equalizer
and pulseaudio pavucontrol
and ran into the same problem, no icon was added to the dashboard and I couldn't start pulseaudio-equalizer
in any way.
Checking all the files I found with a file-search for pulseaudio
and intensive internet research led me to this page in the Arch wiki where I found a solution:
Edit the
/etc/pulse/default.pa
or~/.config/pulse/default.pa
file with your favorite editor and append the following lines:### Load the integrated PulseAudio equalizer and D-Bus module load-module module-equalizer-sink load-module module-dbus-protocol
After doing that I rebooted and ran qpaeq
in terminal. This opened the graphical interface, but playing around with the sliders had no effect.
If qpaeq has no effect, install pavucontrol and change "Built-in Audio Analog Stereo" to "FFT based equalizer on ..." while the media player is running. (in the Playback-tab)
That did the job. This setting seems to persist (at least as long qpaeq
was running, even if I closed and reopened the media-player).
The interface looks a bit different from the image you posted and there are no built-in presets, but there is an option to save presets.
