Pulseaudio Equalizer App PulseEffects For Linux Ubuntu

By Sourabh / June 27, 2017 Category: How To, Ubuntu

Install PulseEffects audio equalizer app on Linux Ubuntu. PulseEffects is a limiter, compressor, reverberation, stereo equalizer and auto volume effects for Pulseaudio applications.

Effects order:

  1. Input Limiter (Ladspa Fast Lookahead Limiter)
  2. Auto Volume
  3. Stereo Panorama (Gstreamer)
  4. Compressor (Ladspa SC4)
  5. Freeverb (Gstreamer)
  6. Equalizer Input Gain (Gstreamer volume)
  7. Butterworth Highpass filter (Gstreamer audiocheblimit)
  8. Butterworth Lowpass filter (Gstreamer audiocheblimit)
  9. 15 bands Equalizer (Gstreamer)
  10. Equalizer Output Gain (Gstreamer volume)
  11. Output Limiter (Ladspa Fast Lookahead Limiter)
  12. Spectrum Analyzer (Gstreamer)

Install directly from the sources

The setup.py script only installs the PulseEffects Python module. It does not copy the files inside the share folder to /usr/share. That is because python setuptools documentation does not recommends this to be done through it. The ideal solution would be to have a package for your distribution. If there is not one available and you would like to try to install by yourself you can try to manualy copy the files in the share folder to the corresponding folders inside /usr/share and then run as root glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/:

  1. git clone https://github.com/wwmm/pulseeffects.git
  2. cd pulseeffects
  3. sudo python3 setup.py install
  4. sudo cp -r share/* /usr/share/
  5. sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/

In case a package is built for your distribution after you have done the steps above you will have to remember to remove the files you copied before installing the package. If you do not want to have this headache a better option is running PulseEffects without installing it. Do the following steps:

  1. git clone https://github.com/wwmm/pulseeffects.git
  2. cd pulseeffects
  3. glib-compile-schemas share/glib-2.0/schemas/
  4. chmod +x pulseeffects
  5. GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR=share/glib-2.0/schemas/ ./pulseeffects
