Sound Server-1: PulseAudio v: 16.1 running: yes

Easyeffects is for pipewire, you are running pulseaudio.

Try running this (fully uninstall pulseaudio and reinstall pipewire):

pamac remove manjaro-pulse pulseaudio-equalizer pulseaudio-jack pulseaudio-lirc pulseaudio-rtp && pamac install manjaro-pipewire

 sudo pamac remove manjaro-pulse pulseaudio-equalizer pulseaudio-jack pulseaudio-lirc pulseaudio-rtp && pamac install manjaro-pipewire

Error: target not found: pulseaudio-equalizer

remove pulseaudio-equalizer from the command I gave you :wink:

@rabcor still not going through :slight_smile:

pamac remove manjaro-pulse pulseaudio-jack pulseaudio-lirc pulseaudio-rtp && pamac install manjaro-pipewire
Error: target not found: pulseaudio-jack

The lists contains packages you might have installed related to pulseaudio.
Just repeat the command and iteratively remove the packages that haven’t been installed on your system until it runs without complaints.

sudo remove manjaro-pulse pulseaudio-jack pulseaudio-lirc pulseaudio-rtp && pamac install manjaro-pipewire
sudo: remove: command not found

Yo forgot the pamac at the start of the command:

pamac remove manjaro-pulse pulseaudio-jack pulseaudio-lirc pulseaudio-rtp && pamac install manjaro-pipewire

And you shouldn’t run pamac with sudo. It’ll ask for a password when required.

Thank you but same results

 pamac remove manjaro-pulse pulseaudio-jack pulseaudio-lirc pulseaudio-rtp && pamac install manjaro-pipewire
Error: target not found: pulseaudio-jack

Not the same results. Read carefully:

Users should not need to remove packages

pamac install manjaro-pipewire

should be able to remove and replace any PulseAudio packages automatically

If the metapackage doesn’t work to replace packages; enable new systemd services and ensure user is added to realtime group to use realtime-privileges, any issue can be posted to forum

Manjaro-pipewire should be automatically installed by default in Manjaro, it breaks a bunch of stuff and some apps like easyeffects reuires it to even launch… Come on Manjaro team!

If you are having problems with manjaro-pipewire metapackage I suggest you start a new post to get attention of Manjaro team rather than hijacking this old discussion

Pulseeffects was renamed to easyeffects over 2 years ago when the developer discontinued support for PulseAudio and switched to PipeWire support only

JamesDSP has multi-effects DSP packages for both consumer audio servers: jamesdsp and jamesdsp-pulse
But I prefer to use pro-audio DSP plugins in JACK with the proper GUI controls. PipeWire should also be capable of using pro-audio DSP plugins

Already have with a post I have made :slight_smile:
