+--- Thread: [SOLVED] EQ settings (/showthread.php?tid=5585)
EQ settings - Sehnsucht - 05-16-2023
I was fiddling around with the graphic equalizer. I noticed 2 odd things:
1) There's no pre-gain. This is rather unusual - you often need to compensate globally for boosts in a given frequency band.
2) The range for each band is 28 to 94. Odd - what are the units here? Ideally they'll be a biased range like -20 -> +20 in steps of 0.1dB

The graphic eq is just a UI on top of the alsamixer app and so it reflects only it's capabilities and volume units/scale, which are indeed strange.
I'll leave it up to you to search for info on alsamixer and its oddness. IIRC there is a page somewhere in the archlinux archives that sort of explains how alsamixer volume units work.

Ugh. It was literally my dislike of fiddling around with alsamixer - and trying to get parametric EQ working - on a standard Raspberry Pi which led me using moOde in the first place! I'll stick to PEQ!
Cheers!
