Audio sound equalization

Post by ChocoMint is better »

Hi, i got a simple suggestion for the OS, which is a feature that i really missed from windows as a media user that listens a lot of youtube and music, is the extra option in the windows audio settings to enable having the OS try and "level" or auto-equalize loudness of the audio played by the computer so that the user doesn't has to be constantly changing the audio levels in an audio per audio, video per video, or moment by moment basis.

I've asked about this before, and while there was a potential solution for this which involved a custom bash, it was not ideal and it would have to be started each time the computer booted, not to mention it made a mess of audio detection from the computer. There are a few things here and there that i miss about windows, but NONE i miss constantly as much as not having to change audio levels all the time thanks to that feature.

As far as i understand pulseeffects gets bad rep for being very resource intensive. While in theory yes, it is what im looking for, i was wondering if a simpler and less intensive solution could be packaged with the OS.

I will give it a try myself then, whenever someone brought up PE a lot of people quickly told me not to bother since its not considered a good tool by many.
