    Re: PulseAudio Equalizer Script

    im running ubuntu 9.10 with latest updates. I've installed the attached .deb, while installing it downloaded 2 files. now i've got P-A-equalizer in gnome menu, but it will not start. the output in console says "Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/share/pulseaudio-equalizer/pulseaudio-equalizer.py", line 519, in <module>
    Equalizer()
    File "/usr/share/pulseaudio-equalizer/pulseaudio-equalizer.py", line 354, in __init__
    GetSettings()
    File "/usr/share/pulseaudio-equalizer/pulseaudio-equalizer.py", line 62, in GetSettings
    persistence = int(rawdata[6])
    ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''
    "
    what should i do? the idea is awesome, and i'd like to try....

    Did you previously test the equalizer before it was packaged in .deb form? If so, delete the old script and the saved settings:
    Code:
    $ sudo rm /usr/local/bin/pulseaudio-equalizer.sh
    $ rm ~/.pulse/equalizerrc*
    Then try again.

    I'm not sure if that's worthwhile, considering the alternative EQ implementations for PulseAudio which are currently superior. I wrote the script and Python interface for some fun and for some practice in programming in Python, but the code is a mess. I haven't even moved the source to a suitable repository yet (though I will soon).

    regarding the frequency banding, I know that this can be edited by the user (as I have done) but it would be nice if 30hz existed as well as 15khz (between 10khz and 20khz).
    The script cannot offer bands which are not already supported by the LADSPA plugin currently in use. Version 2.4 uses the mbeq_1197" plugin. Take a look at the plugin information:

    Code:
    conn@inspiron:~$ analyseplugin mbeq_1197
    
    Plugin Name: "Multiband EQ"
    Plugin Label: "mbeq"
    Plugin Unique ID: 1197
    Maker: "Steve Harris <steve@plugin.org.uk>"
    Copyright: "GPL"

    Has activate() Function: Yes
    Has deativate() Function: No

    Ports:	"50Hz gain (low shelving)" input, control, -70 to 30, default 0

    	"1250Hz gain" input, control, -70 to 30, default 0
    	"1750Hz gain" input, control, -70 to 30, default 0
    	"2500Hz gain" input, control, -70 to 30, default 0
    	"3500Hz gain" input, control, -70 to 30, default 0
    	"5000Hz gain" input, control, -70 to 30, default 0
    	"10000Hz gain" input, control, -70 to 30, default 0
    	"20000Hz gain" input, control, -70 to 30, default 0
    	"Input" input, audio
    	"Output" output, audio
    	"latency" output, control
    There seems to be too many mid range bands, are these needed ?

    The 10khz and 20khz cover too much frequency range.
    There's no need to hide them, either.

    What I have done is constrain the negative and positive ranges for the control ranges, because the mbeq_1197 filter tends to introduce aliasing/distortion when you set the gain to any positive value, and also to make user adjustments of the sliders more convenient.

    With exception to "Laptop", all the included presets suffer from this problem (as they're ported from VLC's equalizer, which does not have distortion problems). Recently, I haven't had time to investigate ways to mitigate this problem (and not many ladspa EQ plugins currently exist).

    Re: PulseAudio Equalizer Script

    Can I just say, as a relative newbie to Ubuntu (and linux in general) that I am extremely grateful for the creator/s of this package. I had been searching for one of these for over 2 years and now that I've found one, I will most likely stick to Ubuntu for a very long time (it was the main reason for me going back to Windows for a while - I like my sound)

    Thanks once again.

    Re: PulseAudio Equalizer Script

    Thanks for your reply.

    I still think its an excellent add on.

    I will look at your other post regarding a better control

    If I were to implement a better control, how do i remove this current installation ?

    Id rather not compile from source just yet, hence your current files are easy to install and get working.

    Re: PulseAudio Equalizer Script

    Is it possible to change frequencies? I would like to change 20Hz, 30Hz, 50Hz and 60Hz.
    The lowest possible now is 50Hz, then 100Hz.

    LOL, nice.. I admit, the quality, with a laptop, even a studio17 with JBL speakers, is awesome.
