Hi! I'm having some troubles with Pulseaudio Equalizer, it's not working with Ubuntu 17.10, So i'm on a drifting of a good equalizer, if you know any, please answer this thread.

Install the system-wide PulseAudio equalizer in Ubuntu or Linux Mint


To install the (unofficial) system-wide PulseAudio equalizer in Ubuntu, use the commands below:


sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pulseaudio-equalizer

Tip from WebUpd8 reader MikeEx: if you get stuttering audio while using this equalizer, edit /etc/pulse/default.pa as root with a text editor - I'll use Gedit below:

gksu gedit /etc/pulse/default.pa

And add "tsched=0" (without the quotes) to the "load-module module-udev-detect" and "load-module module-detect" lines - this is how it should look:

### Automatically load driver modules depending on the hardware available
.ifexists module-udev-detect.so
load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0
.else
### Use the static hardware detection module (for systems that lack udev/hal support)
load-module module-detect tsched=0
.endif

Thanks, but that version via ppa it's not working in Ubuntu 17.10.1, because of gnome maybe ? In linux mint and another distros are working well.

The package is no longer available for 17.10 . Webup8 may update the PPA for 18.04 though they state the following.


Please note that PulseAudio Equalizer is no longer maintained so if you find a bug or if it doesn't work for you and the fix isn't trivial, there's nothing I can do.

Oh well, i will just wait for the Ubuntu's update. Thanks!

I believe the webupd8 disclaimer is outdated.

What do you mean by:
…it's not working with Ubuntu 17.10
This is very vague. Please explain in more detail. Is it giving poor output? Does it not launch? Mine seems to be working alright, although I do notice some lag with it, which sometimes desynchronizes audio from video in Youtube.

"There was an error importing needed librariesMake sure you have qt5 and dbus-python installed
The error that occured was:
No module named PyQt5"
That's what I get when I try to run qpaeq :/
