Pulseaudio Equalizer for Linux
stable version: 2022.07.0

It is a graphical interface in Python and GTK3 to improve the audio output using the pulseaudio LADSPA (Linux Audio Developers Simple Plugin API) and that allows you to manage the equalizer config through presets that can be exported and imported using files with a .preset extension.

This new version updates the interface and implements use optionaly Gnome 3 «header bars» for distributions that use this Desktop Environment in which the application’s controls and options appear in the application’s title bar. It also allows you to change the application interface to adapt to more traditional environments such as XFCE, Cinnamon or MATE, where applications have menus and taskbars.
