A populist movement has arisen in recent years to make daylight saving time (DST) permanent. A change supported by perhaps more than half of U.S. adults. But there are some major problems which people do not think all the way through. People only consider the benefit of an extra hour of daylight in the evenings during winter months. Satisfied with themselves, they move on with their lives, promptly shutdown their brain, and don’t consider the full scope of the issue.

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.
