How To Install PulseAudio Equalizer & PulseEffect On Ubuntu

PulseAudio Equalizer is a 15 bands system wide equalizer, that means any application that is using PulseAudio, will benefit from the sound improvement.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pulseaudio-equalizer

 After Installing PulseAudio Equalizer install pulseeffects for more improvement.

Installation from Source

All commands on this page, unless otherwise specified, are expected to be run as an unprivileged user (not root). Whenever root privileges are necessary, sudo will be used. If sudo is unavailable you may become root using su -, at which point you may execute any command as the root user. Use exit to become a normal user again.

Debian / Ubuntu

Debian 10 (Testing) / Ubuntu 17.10 and newer

Building and Installing a Debian Package

1. Clone the Repo

Clone the git repository and checkout the latest supported release. Unless you are testing the master branch of PulseEffects, you also want to checkout the latest supported release.
If you don't already have git installed, simply install it with  

sudo apt install git.

git clone https://github.com/wwmm/pulseeffects.git
cd pulseeffects
git checkout v3.0.7

2. Install Build Dependencies

Install some Debian tools, needed for building the package.

sudo apt install devscripts equivs

Now let's build and install a dummy package pulseeffects-build-deps, which will depend on all packages required to build the package.

sudo mk-build-deps --install debian/control

3. Build the Package

To build your own package, simply run debuild from inside the source tree. dpkg-buildpackage options may be given on the command line.
Explanation of the options:

• The -us -uc flags builds the package without signing it. Since the package maintainer's private key is unavailable the package cannot be signed. Signing is unnecessary, unless a user plans to redistribute their package in their own repository.
• The -i flag will exclude the .git directory from the generated source tarball.

debuild -i -us -uc

See the full debuild and dpkg-buildpackage manpage for more options.

4. Remove Build Dependencies (Optional)

At this point, you may remove the build dependencies if you wish to save some space. Although if you plan to build every release from source you might as well keep it.

sudo apt purge pulseeffects-build-deps
sudo apt autoremove --purge

5. Install the Package

The finished Debian package will be located at ../pulseeffects_%VERSION%_%ARCH%.deb. You may install it in numerous ways but the easiest command line method is the following:

sudo apt install ../pulseeffects_*.deb

Some graphical alternatives you might consider are gnome-software or gdebi.

Manual Installation

This does not make use of the Debian packaging system.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install --no-install-recommends git meson ninja-build pkg-config
sudo apt install --no-install-recommends libgtk-3-0 python3-gi python3-gi-cairo python3-numpy python3-scipy \
libgstreamer1.0-0 libgstreamer-plugins-good1.0-0 libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-0 python3-gst-1.0 swh-plugins

The following dependencies are only required to pass the Meson dependency checks. Specifically the packaged pkg-config files are required by Meson. Once PulseEffects is installed these are no longer required.

sudo apt install --no-install-recommends libgtk-3-dev python-gi-dev python3-cairo-dev \
libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-dev libpulse-dev
