Enabling Pulse Audio Equaliser Arch Linux

  • Install the pulseaudio package.

     $ pacman -S pulseaudio

  • Install control module and equlizer

     $ pacman -S pulseaudio-equalizer pavucontrol

  • Install gst-plugins-good if your intended program has a legacy GStreamer implementation.

     $ pacman -S gstreamer gst-plugins-good

  • Load equalizer sink and dbus-protocol module

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

  • Run the GUI front-end:

      $ qpaeq

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