Introduction

I just wanted to share what I have learned by manually setting up parametric equalization in Pipewire. I found some sources of information on this, but nothing that describes exactly what you need to do to have it just work.

There are easier ways to enable parametric equalization and many other audio effects than what I am about to describe. If you want the easy way, just install EasyEffects. However, the downside of EasyEffects is that it isn’t exactly a lightweight application when the capability to do equalization already exists natively in Pipewire. If you just want a set it and forget it approach, then follow along.
