PulseAudio Equalizer Script

[ivanovnegro]

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

Yes, I meant this, I made a launcher also.

Is this the fixed PPA for Maverick? I had a message that the package is no longer active, I installed it via a deb file.
Edit: Yes I have the same message now, but like I said I installed the deb file and the EQ is working. Im not sure if its possible to install at the moment. Seems that this package is outdated. Try it to install from here.

pulse-eq 15band script is awsome it boost my sound quality to high level

this isn't realy issue with your script i think it has to do something with ladspa, maybe in earler post's someone mentioned this, when scrolling volume up or down, there is crackling sound, which is realy annoying me. Is there any fix related to this issue, or any feedback about this?

Lucid Lynx 10.04 with
ladspa-sdk1.1-6
swh-plugins0.4.15+1-4

keep up good work..

For what I know at the moment there is no fix for the crackling.

Got the same 404 errors.. glad the .deb is somewhere, thanks for that link, and thanks for developing the equalizer.

AArgg, after downloading the new version, getting all excited I'm still SOL:


Getting settings...

For some reason the deb file is no longer working but the PPA from Webupd8 is working.
So you have to add this PPA to install the EQ.

There seems to be an issue with the Pulse Audio Equalizer. When you log within the system with a second user (like fast user switching), and then you come back to your account, the master volume is dropped very low, to the point that adjusting the volume slider won't help because it gets stuck under normal volume level.

Anyone using this script can confirm this?

Hi,

Great work, thank you very much, you made my music rock again !!. However i have a problem since i use the laptop speakers or a usb headset to listen music, and it only works on the laptop speakers, when i change the sound output to the headset using pulseaudio applet voulume control, the equalization is gone. Hope there is a workarround to this problem.

Regards

I think there is a

LADSPA-something (usb headset)

output option. Tried that yet? Got round to it?

I have this issue without logging in with a second user. What happens with me is that on first boot the equalizer works perfectly, but, after disabling it and enabling it once, something weird happens:

When the equalizer is disabled, sound at half volume sounds normal.

When the 'flat' equalizer is enabled, KDE volume jumps to max. However, sound from the speakers is exactly the same as w/ the equalizer disabled.

This means that the equalizer is not functional for my laptop speakers. I wish to reduce the highs and mids; however, this issue causes my custom preset to sound far too quiet on my speakers with no means to increase the volume.

This is a great project, and I hope that issues like this will be fixed so that users like me can enjoy a systemwide equalizer. In the future is there a bug tracker or something where I can submit issues?
