Subject description: Using alsaequal		  


Download and install

Download alsaequal from the website Smile
http://www.thedigitalmachine.net/alsaequal.html

It needs this dependecy.
http://quitte.de/dsp/caps_0.4.5.tar.gz
install it with:
Code:
$ tar xvfz caps_0.4.5.tar.gz 
# cd caps-0.4.5 
# python configure.py
# make
# make install
#ln -s /usr/local/lib/ladspa /usr/lib/ladspa


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Configuring

After you install those, you need to edit your alsamixer's configuration.
Open /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf and add this behind:
Code:

pcm.!default {
  type hw
  card 0
}

ctl.!default {
  type hw
  card 0
}

ctl.equal {
  type equal;
}

pcm.plugequal {
  type equal;
  slave.pcm "plug:dmix";
}

pcm.!default {
  type plug;
  slave.pcm plugequal;
}

You might need to change this to suit your system. I am using card 0. You can see what card you are using with
Code:
aplay -l

Another thing you might need to change is
Code:
slave.pcm "plug:dmix";
you might need to change it to something like
Code:
slave.pcm "plughw:0,1";

again, this depends on your configuration.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Using it

There are 2 ways to call out the equalizer.

1)
- Go into alsamixer.
- Press f6
- Type "equal"

2)
- Call alsamixer with
Code:
alsamixer -D equal


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good luck.

Cheers!

Haven't tried this, but this is a good find Very Happy I'm sure a lot of people will appreciate it, I remember several people asking for it in the past. I went through google a while ago and ended up in a page of unfinished project in sourceforge (3-band only) . Your find looks much better!
