How to vastly improve sound on Linux with EasyEffects
ZDNet ^ | June 16, 2023 | Jack Wallen

There's a simple application that can be installed to give that sound a boost. This application is called EasyEffects and is the successor to PulseEffects. EasyEffects supports the new PulseAudio replacement, Pipewire -- and includes all the right plugins you need to make your digital sounds come alive.

...

With EasyEffects you can adjust things like:

Blend Harmonics

Scope

EQ

Balance

Levels

In many cases, all you have to do is add/remove different plugins until you get the exact sound you want. Many of the plugins allow you to fine-tune the sound, but I've found that some of them are spot-on with their default settings.

As someone personally involved with sound production, I appreciate this kind of information.

I also appreciate that he wrote the install instructions with screenshots using the app stores which have been around for 5-10 years instead of publishing the usual trite terminal commands. In avoiding terminal so, Wallen allows Linux to be viewed more as the modern operating system that it is and has been for close to a decade, instead of inadvertently portraying Linux to look like a backward troglodyte snot fest. It stopped being this many years ago.

Posting here as maybe ab Ubuntu user will see.

How do I kill the constant pestering of the kde Discover module to update browser

These flavors of linux are anal about not allowing us to disable something. For me I have installs of Chromium and Brave. Even if I exit the app, and restart it — it fails to update and the pestering just continues mutliple times a day.

This is probably not an Ubuntu specific query. See this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFL3Pr5B_N0

You’ll want to look about 8 1/2 minutes in to where he comes up with the answer, but this is good that the video also shows off how to come up with the answer. I prefer the point and click, move/delete the file/check the box method myself.

I usually do things like this by clicking on the taskbar tray icon and finding the “Notifications” and clicking the “Do not disturb” checkbox. It will look like this:

PulseAudio is being phased out in favor of ‘Pipewire’
