Problem with pulseaudio-module-equalizer

Postby shadowraven » Jan 11th, '14, 12:59

I have installed pulseaudio-module-equalizer in Mageia 3 x64 KDE but i cant get it to work? It is like it is installed but the system cant find it?
When i search the pulseaudio equalizer doesnt show up, is there a command to run to start it? How do i start the pulseaudio module equalizer?

Actually pulseaudio-module-equalizer itself is primarily a module for pulseaudio, not a graphic equalizer.
Although it contains an equalizer, but you need to load the pulseaudio modules for that before you can run it.

contents of the package:
Code: Select all
[doktor5000@Mageia3 ~]$ urpmq -l pulseaudio-module-equalizer
/usr/bin/qpaeq
/usr/lib64/pulse-3.0/modules/module-equalizer-sink.so


when trying to run the equalizer GUI without loading the modules
Code: Select all
[doktor5000@Mageia3 ~]$ /usr/bin/qpaeq
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/qpaeq", line 557, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/qpaeq", line 552, in main
    qpaeq_main=QPaeq()
  File "/usr/bin/qpaeq", line 79, in __init__
    self.set_connection()
  File "/usr/bin/qpaeq", line 231, in set_connection
    self.sinks=manager_props.Get(self.manager_iface,'EqualizedSinks')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 70, in __call__
    return self._proxy_method(*args, **keywords)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 145, in __call__
    **keywords)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/connection.py", line 651, in call_blocking
    message, timeout)
dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "Get" with signature "ss" on interface "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" doesn't exist


after following the instructions to load the modules at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pu ... #Equalizer
qpaeq runs just fine.
