PulseAudio Equalizer Script

[VastOne]

I'm trying to figure out why the volume gets jacked up to max output (100) when the EQ is reset. The EQ itself is not changing -- only the volume level that's terrified my neighbors this Vegas morning

Someone else noted this issue as well <http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9108426&postcount=8>.

Are my pulseaudio settings off or is it my hardware? What info do I need to give y'all to figure this out?

Right now I'm running the EQ on UbuntuStudio Lucid (AMD 64-bit).

$ cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [SB             ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB
                      HDA ATI SB at 0xfe024000 irq 16
 1 [M1x1           ]: USB-Audio - MidiSport 1x1
                      M-Audio MidiSport 1x1 at usb-0000:00:12.0-1, full speed

Thank-you, I really want an EQ along these lines.

I have this same issue every time I reboot. I am going to test something and will let you know the results

Check your preamp settings in EQ. I had mine at 1.4 and my volume was always at 140% on every restart. I changed preamp to 1.0 and the problem went away

Excellent!

I rebooted, turned down amp a couple notches and the differences between the EQ settings can be heard w00t w00t!

I will wait on you to elaborate on the rebooting issue but in the meantime... T H A N K - Y O U!

What I was saying was that I had to adjust my sound on every reboot...

I then adjusted the amp down to 1.0 and rebooted and the issue was corrected.

Glad it worked for you!

IIRC, the earlier versions used 1.0 amp. Glad you got it sorted.

Thats right but when I change the settings in the equalizer, the volume control jumps again to maximum in the panel, everytime by change not the amp but the presets.

For those of you running 10.10 (or just have the same weird issue as I did) I noticed that the script was failing to run when opened because it couldn't find the "gnome-volume-control.svg" icon in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps.

Not sure why it wasn't there, but changing the icon used in the script to something else fixed the problem. I now has EQ

Cheers!

I've been searching and I can't find my questions, so I'll ask them:

When the EQ is enabled, no matter what it's set to, there's a weird buzz noise on all my sound that gets extremely annoying. How would I fix this?

When I click Apply Settings, my system volume is automatically set to 100%. How do I change that setting?

The EQ runs in the background, but there's no tray icon for easy and quick use. Did somebody make one that I could have a link to?

[Cadeyrn]

Weird. One day later, all those problems are gone. Though I'd still like a tray icon!

It would be cool to have a tray icon, so, what I do is simply put the EQ on the top panel and can access faster to it.

I just made a launcher for it, and the alsamixer utility. Faster and easier.
