hi,
Long ago on a previous distro I used to use PulseEffects to enhance the audio output on my desktop. Until recently I wasn't able to get it working on Mint (Cinnamon) but now with a new repository it does, sort of. The GUI opens OK and the various options seem to switch on/off OK (previously everything was greyed-out and not working at all) but if I switch off 'Global Bypass' I get horrible distortion unless all the settings are at default. With Global Bypass on of course everything is bypassed so fiddling with the sliders has no effect.
All I want is a bit of bass boost. Any suggestions?

I can't help at all I'm afraid but be interested in 'any suggestions', I've been looking for a simple way to simply adjust the bass and treble. I play music from my dekstop machine through an Onkyo amplifier to (huge, old, valuable) Tannoy Berkeley speakers and it's not infrequently the the bass in particuler is overpowering and needs turning down a little. (I suspect a lot of music nowadays has the bass boosted)

Hi Phil
I had never used pulseeffects until your message popped up. I have just installed it on mint 20.1 Ulyssa with Mate desktop 1.24.0.
Everything seems to work just fine for me.

Correction - on further experimentation there are two effects which remain greyed out at all times. These are "compressor" and "equalizer".
