Hi @wwmm !

I am trying to build a package for Void linux, in response to this recent PackageRequest.

I'm almost done, but I get this error when I run the program:

$ pulseeffects
(pulseeffects:17538): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'com.github.wwmm.pulseeffects' is not installed
Trace/breakpoint trap

Do you have any idea ?
Regards.

Hi, I have a suggestion.
I would like to use this effects for my input (mic).
During playing around with PulseEffects and PulseAudio / pavucontrol ... I got it already working, that I can hear myself and apply the effects.
But I don't know how I can not hear myself and rout this into other apps, which want to record my voice ... and it would be great if this would be a feature instead of a random 'playing around' thing..

Hi,

I am running on master [ b04df85 ] and I get this error

and keeps repeating

This is on ElementaryOS 0.4 (Ubuntu 16.04)
Not sure what's causing the 'magnitude' error.
My visualizer/spectrum doesn't show anything which I think is tied to GstValueList error as it appeared when enabling spectrum.

File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/PulseEffects-2.0.3-py3.5.egg/PulseEffects/sink_input_effects.py", line 410, in on_message_element

It'd be great to have a functionality where the specific frequency values can be set for each "bin" (slider) in the equalizer pane (e.g. changing "26Hz" for first slider to "30Hz" or something). I'm not sure if this is possible (or if the functionality already exists but I'm not seeing it), but it would be handy for people using specific profiles created for other equalizers for specific audio equipment.

Hey

I'd love to try this out but I can't.
Seems like I cannot hear anything coming out either from my speakers and from my headset.
It's the same for both Chromium and ncmpcpp.

Here are some screenshots attached showing my settings.

Hope this might help.

Everytime when I run pulseeffects, Level in reverberation is not working, it's showing value that I set (0.00) but I have to change it to other value and back to value that I want, otherwise program thinks that Level in reverberation has default value.

All sub-groups have a Configuration button with a gear button, which displays the respective options.

However, for most of these subgroups (namely: Input Limiter, Reverberation, Compressor and Equalizer), reopening them after having previously selected an option won't highlight which option is active. This doesn't happen for the Test Signal subgroup.

To be clear, the chosen settings are saved and applied, the issue here is mostly a cosmetic one.

The default buffer window for this program is 60ms, which I believe is a bit too high of latency for most multimedia/gaming scenarios.

In my system I can lower this down to 24ms in normal circumstances, but in reality, the value of 30ms is the minimum I can set it to without introducing audio stuttering/clipping during high CPU usage. So I have just settled with 33ms, which appears to be a well-accepted default (you can see the discussion here, for instance: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pulseaudio-discuss/2014-March/020174.html).

This 33ms setting is working very smoothly, even with sustained 100% CPU load, plus heavy I/O activity. This is for 48 KHz sources.

I'm a previous MS Windows user, and in Windows I used ViPER4Windows. The default latency for this software is 46ms, which is already quite noticeable.

So in this issue I'm really making two suggestions:

1. Consider lowering the default latency for PulseEffects
2. Introduce a small "info" icon (for help, possibly simply a round "i" or "?" symbol) right near the Buffer-time option so that new users can just click it and read about latency and how to better adjust it.

I though about having pre-set latencies but that idea doesn't really appeal to me.

Now to be a bit off-topic, you are doing a great work in this project. Congratulations, and best regards.

I use Xubuntu 16.04. I install the newest pulseeffects, but it told me to install gtk+ 3.20 but I have gtk+ 3.18. I then install new repo from sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging and sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 and update. I tried restart once but upon starting pulseefects with GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR=share/glib-2.0/schemas/ ./pulseeffects
I got this infinite loop of error... however pulseeffect did start but no sound.
http://i.imgur.com/6VRE8Fs.png

Currently all effects are always enabled.
This causes more CPU usage as needed. On my old laptop this is bad, also for the battery..

So it would be great if we could enable for example only the equalizer, if we only need the equalizer.
This would also 'fix': #42

For the GUI: What about something like 'planes' or 'tabs' ..
I mean there could be a effect list at the left and right of it there can be the effect settings.
Depending on which effect is selected in the list at the left, the settings things change at the right..

Like this for example:

At the left, (in the effects list), currently "Equalizer" is selected and next to the list, there are the equalizer settings (marked orange) with an "enable" checkbox.

With this GUI, there would be also more place for the effect settings, because always only the settings of the current selected effect of the list are displayed.

(I know, not the best example picture and maybe not the best idea in general, but I have no other idea yet.)

Maybe this is the next big goal for 3.0 and it would be great ;)

Hi,
First I got setup.py to run
kevin@kevin-desktop:~/Desktop/Software/pulseeffects-master$ sudo python3 setup.py
usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
or: setup.py --help-commands
or: setup.py cmd --help

error: no commands supplied

And I just left it there...
What I do next is...
I follows the steps here.

1. git clone https://github.com/wwmm/pulseeffects.git
2. cd pulseeffects
3. glib-compile-schemas share/glib-2.0/schemas/
4. chmod +x pulseeffects
5. GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR=share/glib-2.0/schemas/ ./pulseeffects

on the last step I got error.
kevin@kevin-desktop:~/pulseeffects$ GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR=share/glib-2.0/schemas/ ./pulseeffects
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/home/kevin/pulseeffects/PulseEffects/gst.py", line 109, in build_pipeline
pipeline.add(self.limiter)
TypeError: Argument 1 does not allow None as a value

However, I got pulseeffect to appear on sound setting>playback>pulseeffect, but no sound.

I don't know how to install it, I don't know which python file are suppose to launch that awesome looking gui.

Commit 9d82395 and possibly ones that follow causes regressions in some of PulseEffects sound effects. Not sure which plugin, but something causes static in the sound. The music I play is still audible but the static is louder.

After modifying some settings and without thinking of saving my configuration, I didn't find any option to return to the default settings.

Here is the Czech .po localization file (code cs). Please commit it.

Best regards from Moravia.

Could you add option to run Pulseeffects in tray?

Distro is Void Linux

In the "About PulseEffects" window, the "Close" button does nothing.

Could you make an option to hide the spectrum analyzer and maybe add other new cool spectrum analyzers also( I like clementine nyanalyzer). And why can't I resize the windows? I would like to make it fit nicely with music player. Thanks.

I have the program set up to launch automatically at login though I find I have to enable it using the bottom right toggle. Is there a way to launch it with its default state being enabled?

Hi,

it it possible to tune the output music to 432 Hz, instead of 440 Hz?

If so, how could this be achieved? If not, is that something that can be integrated in to the app?

I have been looking for a solution to do this for so long now, and there is only methods for playing music files, not streaming services like Spotify etc...

Best regards,
Tommy :)

Hi.

I tried this thing for voice recording, mainly the compressor. Parameters for attack/release and so on are typically set very low for voice recordings and those are next to impossible to set using the current slider. Some textual input would help there.

On a sidenote, this thing needs more documentation, it's non-obvious how it works, especially the routing within PA.

I am trying to install on kde neon, I believe I install all the dependency (the instruction is pythongobject but I install python-gobject).

Thank you for all the work you are doing with PulseEffects, it is a nice application.

Functionality like pitch would be a nice to have feature in PulseEffect, so that it is possible to manipulate a voice live for example. I would personally mostly be using it during Skype calls as a fun feature when talking to friends etc.

It seems like this GStreamer plugin supports pitch:
https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gst-plugins-bad-plugins/html/gst-plugins-bad-plugins-plugin-soundtouch.html

This is a Python wrapper for it:
https://github.com/jrising/pysoundtouch

I am however not sure if it is possible to use it live.

This looks great. At first I didn't think it worked and then I figured out the routing is odd. If I route sound output to pulseeffects it goes nowhere. No traces on your display. However, I noticed that at some point I could get feedback. You have a record stream going and it only picks up from the record stream.

As a hack, I record the monitor of pulse effects

So my working config is:
(Playback)
Music Player -> Pulse Effects
pulseEffects -> Sound card

(Recording)
Monitor of PulseEffects -> PulseEffects

Putting the recording to any other source or muting it stops all output.

Not sure if I am double processing or not. Looks really good.

I just upgraded from a much older version which was working fine but the current version doesn't seem to be doing anything. When I try to use any program through pulseeffects everything goes silent and there is no visual activity from within it. That's what seems to set this apart from the other no sound issue, I am not even getting the spectrum. I admittedly can't remember which older version I was on, but I did grab a copy of version 1.0 which still works. If I get a little more time I can go forward through the versions to try and pinpoint where it changed if that would help.

I run Arch, fully updated

Now this likely could be a PEBKAC issue but i cannot seem to get this awesome looking program setup on opensuse. It is not in any of the repos nor is it in OpenbuildService ;-;

Current machine being used, Dell Prescision P690 with Opensuse leap 42.2 installed. All the dependencies where install per the readme.md. (thanks for the great dependency list 👍 )

Here is what i have done thus far. (i use ~/bin for compiling stuff)

If 'pulseeffects' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf pulseeffects

I hope this helps. I really am looking forward to this program running. Also ignore the crossout's.

I have tried before to reliably configure a limiter and compressor in pulseaudio. But success only lasted the session. Then all had to be reconfigured. When I began for a method to use with kubuntu 17.04, I found Pulse Effects.

Thank you! Wonderful piece of work!

Now for the question. Is there a settings or config file where the AutoVolume can be adjusted? In my situation, it takes too long to respond to sudden increases and decreases in volume.

After installing latest version (1.5.1) the main window is extremely stretched and cant be changed nor resized. Maybe is problem with new slovak strings, that are longer that english strings.

Hi,

Thank you for pulseeffects it is really awesome.

I would like to suggest adding AppImage as an option for installing as well.

Cheers,

I've seen that you use ladspa lookahead limiter.
As far as i know about it, it limits each channel regardless of the other destroying the stereo image.
Is that right? MAybe there are better alternatives?

Thank you for your great work!

Hi!

Just tried it and it's looking very good! Thanks!

I'd just like to make some suggestions:

1. Ability to save/load configs.
2. Ability to apply different configs to different streams.

Cheers,

The localization would be supported?

I tried Kodi with 5.1 audio - FL, FR, RL, RR are playing perfectly. Center and Subwoofer aren't - they are muted. Haven't found yet how to enable them. If I turn PulseEffects for Kodi off it will play as it should be.

If you update your translation from the current POT file pulseeffects.pot in master it will disable a lot of your strings.

The result is that PulseEffects won't use all of the localized strings.

Best guess is that something must have gone wrong when it was regenerated. Presumably related to he new tooling.

Please note that at present, PulseEffects is Arch-specific, by using the incorrect shebang:

https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/

Note that "python" points to "python2" on every distro except Arch, so if portability is a concern,
"python3" should be explicitly requested in the shebang.

HI, I'm on manjaro KDE 64 bit. I was very confused at first because the master switch at the bottom right of the app was switched to off except sound worked. When I flipped it on, all sound was muted (but the visualizer still showed sound). Took me a moment but I realized that the on/off switch seems to be backwards. I attached the sink about if that helps at all
pactl list sinks output.txt

The first image is with sound working, and the second is with sound not working (see switch and visualizer in it)

Thanks

I want to auto-limit my output while doing equalizer on input.
I could just run 2times and do some routing, but looks like it prevents me from running multiple instances.

BTW. Keep up the great work! It works great!

I have several curves made and can't load 'em. I first noticed this yesterday after an update.

I'm on Ubuntu 17.04 and I tried to install the latest version of pulseeffects directly from this Git repo.
I'm sure I installed all the dependecies, and the gst-inspect-1.0 | grep -i ladspa command does give me a lot of output, however there's no way to start the app. It always gives me the following errors:

Also, it gives me this error with older version. The only one that worked so far is the packaged version which one can found at Launchpad.net (https://launchpad.net/~yunnxx/+archive/ubuntu/gnome3/+files/pulseeffects_1.312entornosgnulinuzesty-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb).
I can't figure out what's wrong :(

I tried installing pulseeffects directly from the sources, I installed all required libraries but when i run last command error occurs

N.B.: In Antergos (Arch) works fine

I know this is not an issue but would save me almost an hour if it was added into the readme
git clone https://github.com/wwmm/pulseeffects.git
cd pulseeffects
sudo python3 setup.py install
sudo cp -r share/* /usr/share/
sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/

probably a sudo apt install "the list of the dependencies" if they are missing.
