i was using sudo pacman -S easyeffetcs but i cannot even do own settings, there are only existing ones like autoamplify which cannot be tuned

From an old post,

Please what to use? pulseEffects / easyEffects

Just remember that you need to install all of easyeffects optional dependencies as well without them easyeffects is basically useless, you can’t do anything.
garuda-update -- easyeffects calf lsp-plugins-lv2 zam-plugins-lv2 mda.lv2
While installing it will ask which repository to install lv2 plugins from and will give you a bunch of choices. I will suggest going with element. Reason being it’s the most light weight of them all. With allmost no extra dependencies needed to be installed.

I am linking the preset I use, it works quite nicely for my system but I can’t guarantee for you. You can use it as a reference or a starting point if you wish or ignore it if you want.

https://termbin.com/9cmi

The preset is placed in the ~/.config/easyeffects/output/ directory as a json file and you need to explicitly ask easy effects to load it the first time.

I believe that termbin link has expired. Here it’s copy pasted in case you wanna use it,

JamesDSP + one of the convolve profiles out there are doing magic for my notebook

I haven’t played with the convolver settings yet, but I have been enjoying creating personal Presets. And, of course, I still use your pipewire.conf settings. I’m not sure they’re needed anymore–JamesDSP & Pipewire have improved so much–but they don’t hurt anything, either. This is on my desktop PC w/Logi Z407 sound.
