I would love to have libasound2-plugin-equal to support software based euqlizer. I had installed it in volumio and it work very well. Would be nice addition for people who have kodi as music player
Would be great!
I also miss the equalizer in the kodi very much and I would like to add it to the CoreELEC 19 Matrix. Well thank you.
I see no link for any addons what should be added.
Also not if they are compatible with Kodi Matrix.
Linux equalizer market is strange.
I fiddled around different solutions:
1.As libreelec / coreelec uses ALSA as default i started with the alsaequal plugin.
Got it compiled with a custom coreelec build.
Seams to be working, aplay -D equal test.wav works.
BUT Kodi seams to manage it’s alsa devices on its own and ignores .config/asound.conf.
I found no way to get Kodi to use the equal output device or set the default to equal.
Unresolved Topic? [LINUX] HOW-TO use ALSAEQUAL real-time adjustable audio equalizer for ALSA with XBMC
2.pulseaudio-module-equalizer
Kodi seams to auto detect pulseaudio output devices.
module-equalizer is disabled in the pulseaudio coreelec build. Got it compiled with a custom coreelec build.
The strange part is how to setup the equalizer levels.
I could only find the tool qpaeq. Which is a python script with a qt5 UI => not working on coreelec. https://github.com/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/blob/master/src/utils/qpaeq
Communication is done via dbus. With help of this script pulseaudio - How to control equalizer within command line? - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange it is also controllable via cmdline.
And there are 10+ other possibilities, but for now i am testing this solution.
The module-equalizer-sink included with pulseaudio states for years:
module-equalizer-sink is currently unsupported, and can sometimes cause PulseAudio crashes
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pulseaudio-discuss/2014-March/020174.html
pulseaudio-equalizer-ladspa seams to be often used too
I have no clue which will fit the best.
They were right, pulseaudio-module-equalizer is buggy: causes random stutters/cracking,…
Found a workaround to get 1. alsaequal working with kodi. Testing this solution now, seems to work without stutters.
The workaround is to add a alsa sink to pulseaudio, so pulseaudio will be piped to alsa.
Then Kodi can be set to use pulseaudio as output.
Hello, I accidentally managed to find this discussion…https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=360514 … Wouldn’t that help in our case? It works as functional for KODI.
I would love if something like this worked. I have installed mpd and ympd along with coreelec. Which is working great. Only problem is sound needs some tuning. which is only possible with a equalizer doesn matter if its configured from command line.
would it be possible to add CamillaDSP, as system wide equalizer?
Would you mind helping with some instructions for getting equaliser working?
Thank you in advance
Any news for a “how to”? Would be awesome with a CamillaDSP addon or maybe instructions for compiling a working coreelec version.
Thanks!
