Some time ago I fiddled with MX-19 and went back to my usual OS which I have used for 20 years. Then when MX-21 came along I was really impressed with it's speed and simplicity and decided to switch over to it. It's been a couple of months now, and I am switching back to my old OS. Why? I listen to a lot of online music and watch videos. Many have been audio equalized for a variety of reasons and I need to adjust the sound. I have battled with Pulse Effects and it's incredible complexity and have lost. All I want is a simple equalizer like the one I have used for years,,,alsamixer. So while I believe MX-21 to be the best OS these days, I am going back to my clunky old OS because IT WORKS for me.

Many thanks to all the users who have helped me, and a Merry Christmas to all.

It’s a shame, but you have to use what you want.

I know this isn’t a help thread, I assume you’ve asked about mixers/equalizers, and out of the 42 different ones… none of them met your needs either?

I say this cause I packaged pamixer not long ago and I see there is alsamixergui available.

Either way, we’ll be here. Enjoy your holidays.

I'm confused: did you enter this command in a terminal?

Code: Select all

alsamixer

Alsamixergui runs but only shows volume sliders. I need frequency adjustment.

Yes I did, and what it gives me is Master and Capture Volume levels, hardly a frequency equalizer.

What's a 'frequency equalizer?' I've seen lots of equalizers with sliders or knobs for different frequency bands, but I'm having trouble visualizing this.

Huh. I use DeaDBeeF for music playing, which is not only close to lossless but has an built-in frequency equalizer. And online I use one of the equalizer extensions for Firefox/Chrome that work pretty well. But I imagine you have explored all that already.

I think this is what he is talking about

I think PulseEffects (or it's current incarnation EasyEffects) has a nice frequency equalizer, if I understand the term. And that's just one of its modules. PulseEffects is available via the MX Package Installer in MX-19. I'm not running MX-21 yet, so I don't know if it uses the newer EasyEffects app.

…. the newer EasyEffects app.

Do you have a reference for this?
