Installation help

[jpr105]

Hello friends,

I'm reconfiguring an old ACER ASPIRE 5750 for a friend.

I haven't installed Windows in order not to slow it down too much, and my choice of Linux Mint Cinnamon is the right one: the machine responds perfectly.

On the other hand, the sound isn't very good. In French we say: it sounds "like a saucepan"!

So I tried to install an equalizer by following this article. The main problem is that this release doesn't offer any presets, which is nonsense!

So I searched the net and found your equalizer. However, from a beginner's point of view, the installation instructions are addressed rather to a geek familiar with linux builds...

So, could you please go into a little more detail about the installation procedure?

Thanks in advance Best regards - Jean-Paul

PS: don't hesitate to suggest another solution if this program is obsolete and/or incompatible with Mint.

Hi !

Try to get the package for your distro , in some repository site like https://pkgs.org/ ... here

If you read the source really is 3 parts : bash script, python script, and python app ... that interface with the ladspa module...

If you already installed the module, you can use it directly (and much less convenient ;-) ) , something like this ...

#!/bin/bash
export LADSPA_PATH="$LADSPA_PATH:/usr/lib64/ladspa"

master=$(pactl get-default-sink)

#mbeq_1197 = ladspa module eq
pacmd load-module module-ladspa-sink sink_name=ladspa_output.mbeq_1197.mbeq master=$master plugin=mbeq_1197 label=mbeq control=0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0

(same 15 controls/bands)
