Hi,
I am looking for a mixer to adjust sound when playing music tracks.
alsamixer is ok for the general setup, but what I am after is something like an easy, simple equalizer or so.
Could not find a package in the repos.
Any idea?
Thanks.

Use a music player that has an equalizer?

Use google
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rteq/
As of 2007-06-06 0:00:00 GMT, this project is no longer under active development.
rtEq is a realtime 31-band equalizer. It supports ALSA and OSS for I/O.

PulseAudio is a sound server for POSIX and Win32 systems. A sound server is basically a proxy for your sound applications. It allows you to do advanced operations on your sound data as it passes between your application and your hardware. Things like transferring the audio to a different machine, changing the sample format or channel count and mixing several sounds into one are easily achieved using a sound server.
Simplified: PulseAudio is responsible for playback and mixing of audio on your system. It is not a sound driver - in fact, it runs on top of the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA). Aside from all the cool effects PulseAudio provides, it serves as a replacement for ALSA's virtual sound mixing device (DmixPlugin, or "dmix") - thus allowing multiple applications to share access to your sound card.

With most of you using Linux players like XMMS, Audacious or BMP desperately miss out equalizer presets of Winamp. For a die-hard music-aficionado who loves to hear Miles Davis' Kind of Blue in pure Jazz can never compromise with an equalizer. The equalizer is a must have feature with any audio player. Simply you can't do without an equalizer if you still have your ears intact for quality music. There's a simple trick to get the equalizer in you XMMS, Audacious or BMP.

Have you ever wanted to take the audio output of one piece of software and send it to another? How about taking the output of that same program and send it to two others, then record the result in the first program? Or maybe you're a programmer who writes real-time audio and music applications and who is looking for a cross-platform API that enables not only device sharing but also inter-application audio routing, and is incredibly easy to learn and use? If so, JACK may be what you've been looking for.

You could right-click on the panel and choose add new item. Scroll about half way down and you'll see a mixer plug-in. You could use this to gain easy access to your mixer settings. As for exaile, it already has a built-in equalizer.

Hi,
did that, but did not find a mixer, just a speaker volume control. Well, its a mixer, but not an equalizer
In Exaile its similar - it does not provide what I am looking for.
Thanks anyway.

I'm using
Startpage, Ixquick which is the same company, by the way, and with StartPage I can find pages that google & yahoo won't even show, but, on the other hand, it's sometimes a very "stupid" search engine lol, but StartPage is still my prime search engine.
