Mageia forum

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

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