pulseaudio-4.0-2.fc20

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum provides */qpaeq

Actual results:
Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, langpacks, refresh-packagekit
No matches found

Expected results:
qpaeq-...

Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2013-08-29 13:47:32 UTC
Seems it is shipped in pa tarball, but not installed by default for some reason.

Looks like a simple python script, you can fetch it yourself to try out:

Comment 2 fednuc 2013-12-20 22:51:27 UTC
Doesn't work, seems to be because the module module-equalizer-sink is missing from the set installed with pulseaudio? (FC19)

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2014-02-17 22:53:16 UTC
I see that now.  I'm working on integrating this into a subpkg (on rawhide at least).

Comment 7 Neal Becker 2014-07-09 11:06:58 UTC
Updated and installed pulseaudio-qpaeq.  But if I try to run:

qpaeq
There was an error connecting to pulseaudio, please make sure you have the pulseaudio dbus module loaded, exiting...

Comment 8 Rex Dieter 2014-07-09 12:04:32 UTC
You may need to add
load-module module-dbus-protocol
to /etc/pulse/default.pa

Comment 9 Shawn Starr 2014-07-17 03:18:02 UTC
I have it running, but when adjusting bass/treble frequencies nothing changes in the output.

same here ...

shouldn't it be the default then?


btw, after upgrading, it sounds like I have some stereo-enhancing (surround) effect enabled, but I can't find anything relevant ... I'm really not happy about this :-(

+1, even after restarting PA (pulseaudio -k)

and in addition, the 'Reset' button doesn't reset the PreAmp slider

Comment 12 Shawn Starr 2014-07-17 15:20:47 UTC
I got it working however PulseAudio eats 40-60% CPU in some cases with this enabled


1) copy your /etc/pulse/default.pa to $HOME/.pulse/default.pa:
2) Get the Master output:

pactl list sources | grep Name:

$ pactl list sources | grep Name:
        Name: alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo.monitor
        Name: alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo
        Name: alsa_input.usb-046d_0990_B4261720-02-Q9000.analog-mono

Add:

load-module module-equalizer-sink sink_name=equalized sink_master=alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo
set-default-sink equalized

It runs, but certain applications will cause it just kill CPU

Comment 13 Shawn Starr 2014-07-17 15:30:54 UTC
Make that OUTPUT:  alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo in my case this device.
