Equaliser and Bluetooth - varun21 - 01-31-2022

Is the equaliser supposed to work over bluetooth? If not, is there any other package that can be used to provide this functionally?


RE: Equaliser and Bluetooth - Tim Curtis - 01-31-2022

From the help in the Equalizers section of Audio Config.

Code:
The Equalizers are supported by MPD and the Airplay and Spotify renderers.
NOTE: The Equalizers, Crossfeed, and Polarity inversion are mutually exclusive. Enabling one will disable the SET button on the others.

You could try manipulating the ALSA EQ directly via SSH.

Code:
sudo alsamixer -D alsaequal

Hi Tim,

Thanks. The Equalize works fine when playing audio files. However the eq doesn't have any effect when my phone is connected to moode via bluetooth. I must mention that I have a a DAC HAT connected to moode if that matters.

Try editing /etc/bluealsaaplay.conf

Replace: plughw:0,0
With: alsaequal


RE: Equaliser and Bluetooth - varun21 - 01-31-2022

Hi Tim,

It doesn't say plughw:0,0 anywhere. Here's the file:

➜ ~ cat /etc/bluealsaaplay.conf
# bluealsaaplay.conf
AUDIODEV=hw:0,0
BUFFERTIME=20000

===========

➜ ~ cat /boot/config.txt
disable_splash=1
disable_overscan=1
hdmi_drive=2
hdmi_blanking=1
hdmi_force_edid_audio=1
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_group=0
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
dtparam=i2s=on
dtparam=audio=off

Change hw:0,0 to alsaequal

Hi Tim,

Worked like a charm. Thanks so much.

Is the file supposed to revert back after a reboot? I rebooted and it reverted.

And is everyone expected to make this change manually?


RE: Equaliser and Bluetooth - Tim Curtis - 01-31-2022

Yes it will revert during moOde startup where the MPD and ALSA configuration are established.

IIRC in the past there were issues with allowing the the EQ's to be applied to Bluetooth. I'lll have to look through my notes.


RE: Equaliser and Bluetooth - varun21 - 01-31-2022

Hi Tim,

Awesome work. I do appreciate it else my diy system wouldn't have been used much.

I'll create a boot script meanwhile to automatically patch this on startup


RE: Equaliser and Bluetooth - Tim Curtis - 01-31-2022

Your script should check for moOde startup complete.

Code:
# wrkready = 0 means startup not complete yet
# wrkready = 1 means startup has completed
pi@moode:~ $ moodeutl -q "select value from cfg_system where param='wrkready'"
