audio from left speaker pulse audio code example

Example: pulse audio equalizer

To start the pulseaudio equalizer run:

qpaeq

If this gives you the error

There was an error connecting to pulseaudio,
please make sure you have the pulseaudio dbus module loaded, exiting...

then load these two modules using pactl:

pactl load-module module-equalizer-sink
pactl load-module module-dbus-protocol

and, to make these changes permanent, edit ~/.config/pulse/default.pa (create it if necessary) and add these lines:

load-module module-equalizer-sink
load-module module-dbus-protocol
