README for alsaequal POST-INSTALL 1. Add '/usr/lib/ladspa' to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. 2. Add the following to your ALSA configuration file: /etc/asound.conf -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ctl.equal { type equal; } pcm.plugequal { type equal; # Modify the line below if you do not want to use sound card 0. #slave.pcm "plughw:0,0"; # by default we want to play from more sources at time: slave.pcm "plug:dmix"; } # pcm.equal { # If you do not want the equalizer to be your default soundcard # comment the following line and uncomment the above line. # (You can choose it as the output device by addressing it with specific # apps,eg mpg123 -a equal 06.Back_In_Black.mp3) pcm.!default { type plug; slave.pcm plugequal; } -------------------------------------------------------------------------- And you are ready to change your equalizer using command $ alsamixer -D equal Note that configuration file is different for each user (until not specified else) it is saved in ~/.alsaequal.bin. So if you want to use ALSAEqual with mpd or another software running under different user, you can configure it using $ su mpd -c 'alsamixer -D equal' or for example, you can make a symlink to your .alsaequal.bin in his home.
