What do you mean when you say "system-wide"– Charles GreenFeb 2, 2019 at 2:09

kind of like the realtek sound effects and equalizer program in windows. like, not just app or program specific equalization, but system wide– DPSFeb 2, 2019 at 3:26

I'm sure that you have noted that PulseAudio-Equalizer seems to be a little problematic. I run quite a different setup myself (I do some recording) but this answer which installs PulseEffects may work for you.– Charles GreenFeb 2, 2019 at 16:02

I'm paraphrasing from this answer
The following commands will install PulseEffects on your computer. As you are adding a PPA, you should also know how to remove that PPA.
First, install the program for (eventual) PPA removal:
sudo apt install ppa-purge
Secondly, add the PPA to your system, do an APT update, and then install PulseEffects
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mikhailnov/pulseeffects -y
sudo apt update
sudo apt install pulseeffects
Finally, should you need to remove PulseEffects:
sudo ppa-purge ppa:mikhailnov/pulseeffects

wow, that worked. i tried something very similar yesterday, but after it was all said and done... the only response i got from the system when trying to launch PE, was "it is recommended that you update...something something..." from pulse itself. but then nothing, not any screen or activity.
