Enabling Pulse Audio Equaliser Arch Linux

Install the pulseaudio package.

Load equalizer sink and dbus-protocol module

 $ pactl load-module module-equalizer-sink
 $ pactl load-module module-dbus-protocol

Run the GUI front-end:

Note: If qpaeq has no effect change setting audio output to "FFT based equalizer on ..." while the media player is running.

Thank you. Seems it's working for me.
Damn, that's the kind of thing you can't just guess if no one tells you :/

I get Failure: Module initialization failed on pactl load-module module-dbus-protocol but otherwise everything works. I ended up going with package pulseeffects though which is actively being maintained.

i also had this problem but i used the qpaeq and get sucess (sorry for my terrible english)
