Hey all
I've just got myself a new set of Sony 2.1 speakers but the bass is really loud which i usually love but living in an apartment with a neighbour who hates noise i need to lower it a bit.
On Ubuntu MATE 18 I knew about being able to use a Pulse Audio EQ but it no longer works on Ubuntu MATE 20.04
Can anyone advise me how i can setup an EQ on my new Ubuntu MATE install?
Thanks for your time
Pulse Effects.
Linux Studio Plugins is required for the EQ to work.
sudo apt install -y pulseeffects lsp-plugins and you're good to go.
Thankyou very much! Is working!
thanks just used the command to install it and it looks great ! I will try it with noize cancellation, working with Africa in video meetings 
20% CPU for noize cancellation 12th gen P cores :
Cuuuuute .
But not integrated in Ubuntu Mate :
It doesn t go in the notification bar when closed. It just close the programme.
Pullseffects is tipically a notification bar app like the other sound options of mate.
how do i remove the plugin.
Hi, @Blood_Raven and welcome to the Ubuntu MATE Community!
sudo apt purge pulseeffects
It doesn’t seem to work at all. I installed it, and the sound just disappeared. It works only if I set the toggle of the specific application to off. Also, it requires PulseAudio. I get the sound back only after uninstalling all these applications and restarting the system.
Hi, @Roman_Dubrovin and welcome to the Ubuntu MATE Community!
I have found the solution. Just install EasyEffects
sudo apt install easyeffects
It works perfectly
Easyeffects is the equivalent of pulseeffects; but it works on newer Linux sound stacks which typically use pipewire (which is slowly replacing pulseaudio).
