The author kindly replied to my e-mail and told me to try local ~/.asoundrc instead. That worked for mpg321 player, but not mpg123:ant wrote:Hello.
I tried to get this to work from http://www.thedigitalmachine.net/alsaequal.html and this forum thread. However, its EQ doesn't seem to work for me on my over year old Debian stable box with http://www.thedigitalmachine.net/tools/ ... .6.tar.bz2. I had no problems compiling it though:
# nano /root/.asoundrc

Weird. It looks like I have to tell each audio player to use Alsa's "equal" hw. Is there a way to force this by default for ALL software for audio? I couldn't figure out how to get my XMMS, Mplayer, web browsers, Gnome v2.23, VLC, etc. to use it by default. Is there a way to do that? https://johan.pp.se/2011/02/20/systemwi ... -equalizer says you just restart the software which I did. Does it require a reboot?
