    Switch from Pulse? No reason not to. Use Wireplumber instead of pipewire-session-manager, and consider installing pipewire-pulse if any of your scripts rely on pactl (or rewrite them to use wpctl, which does much the same as pactl).

    As for Easyeffects, use the flatpak package to avoid dependency issues.

      I’m not familiar with easyeffects, I use a computer to watch media content and always have to adjust my volume for loud gunfire or soft dialogue. Does easyeffects have a volume normalization setting I could use to smooth out my media volume?

        That’s one of the first problems I need solved, so thanks for asking. I used to use pulseEffects to get one place to go for system-wide volume, EQ & compression settings, and want that back.

        One of the problems it had was that many FX wouldn’t work without having to install a set of non-default libraries, and the available docs weren’t too clear on that. Will be visiting Ee docs.

        Yes, it has both a compressor and a limiter. I don’t know how to set them up though.
