  • What do you mean when you say "system-wide" – Charles Green Feb 02 '19 at 02:09
  • kind of like the realtek sound effects and equalizer program in windows. like, not just app or program specific equalization, but system wide – DPS Feb 02 '19 at 03:26
  • I'm sure that you have noted that PulseAudio-Equalizer seems to be a little problematic. I run quite a different setup myself (I do some recording) but [this answer](https://askubuntu.com/a/1089593/283721) which installs PulseEffects may work for you. – Charles Green Feb 02 '19 at 16:02
  • yeah, i believe its no longer supported possibly? im going to check the link you shared, and get back with you! – DPS Feb 03 '19 at 03:50
  • ok, so ive tried fetching and compiling PE to no avail. maybe im doing something wrong? – DPS Feb 03 '19 at 20:44
  • im incredibly new to this, and its showing lol – DPS Feb 03 '19 at 20:44
  • We all got to learn somewhere! Where are you getting stuck? – Charles Green Feb 03 '19 at 21:02
  • Hm. I think I know, if your attempting to compile. I'll type up the required commands in a short answer – Charles Green Feb 03 '19 at 21:02

I'm paraphrasing from this answer

The following commands will install PulseEffects on your computer. As you are adding a PPA, you should also know how to remove that PPA.

First, install the program for (eventual) PPA removal:

sudo apt install ppa-purge

Secondly, add the PPA to your system, do an APT update, and then install PulseEffects

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mikhailnov/pulseeffects -y
sudo apt update
sudo apt install pulseeffects

Finally, should you need to remove PulseEffects:

sudo ppa-purge ppa:mikhailnov/pulseeffects

  • wow, that worked. i tried something very similar yesterday, but after it was all said and done... the only response i got from the system when trying to launch PE, was "it is recommended that you update...something something..." from pulse itself. but then nothing, not any screen or activity. THANK YOU! – DPS Feb 03 '19 at 21:36
