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.

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.

Works for me! Awesome!

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 :/
