[How To] Make Linux sound GREAT!

In your case, I believe you are correct, it sounds like you Denon has a built in amplifier, in this scenario, you would be amplifying an amplified signal using the filters I outlined, no bueno. Easyeffects is not really for that. All though, depending on filters used, it could be used to clean and or stabilize audio signal before it reaches your Denon.

Thanks for guys saving my sound on Linux and all the links.

Default.json and the numbers in the text, which one is ā€œup-to-dateā€ for this tutorial?

I was just download the json file and following the steps, changing the number to be the same with those in the texts. (I feeling like this isn’t correct, either one is just a starting point, I should figure out those number myself for my devices?)

Then, I installed a preset package. (It’s not working great.)

Old

Update: I’m going to uninstall easyeffects too. It’s not easy, and is not a ā€œtoggle on and forgetā€ thing, I have to maintain presets for every device even application… Sorry guys.

Update 1: I reinstalled it…because the improvement was pretty noticeable.
To make it simple, I just downloaded the default.json and change the low pass to high pass which comes with it, which was causing the sound to break.

I also disabled Base Enhancer:

Update 2: I have to disable Filter, for it breaks voice of Linus

Update 3: I noticed some sound ā€œcracksā€ when listen to specific song. I’m going to uninstall it again for simplicity.

Thanks for taking the time to write this guide. The limiter was something I’ve been looking for in Manjaro
