  • What do you mean when you say "system-wide" Feb 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

  • 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. Feb 2, 2019 at 16:02
  • yeah, i believe its no longer supported possibly? im going to check the link you shared, and get back with you!

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. THANK YOU!
