Remove LADSPA effects from my device preferences? [SOLVED]

[SOLVED]

Hello, fairly new to Linux Mint, and Linux for that matter, and long story short, tried to use the Veromix plugin or widget to make my sound better (Equalized)...


I failed.

Searched for answers, in Arch forums, Ubuntu, and god forgive me... googled but not one gave me the answer, or very vague ones...

So gave up, just unistalled that Veromix effing thing, and some LADSPA effects are still in the sound playback control panel (see attached image).

the question is... how do I get rid of them (LADSPA), without reinstalling whole system ? yes, I tried to search that, even worse.

But still loving my new KDE desktop.

Laptop AMD APU on Radeon graphics 8 Gb RAM
Linux Mint KDE 17.3 (18 is not for my Radeon)

Thanks in advance.

How did you install the plugins? Synaptic? Software Manager? I would assume that you would uninstall the same way.

TIP
the way to do this is go to .config/pulse/ and DELETE everything EXCEPT the presets folder if you have one saved with EQ settings, then reboot

ps: each time you use any plugins it will keep a history in KDE (greyed out when not in use or unavailable). some distros like pclinuxos will keep these in [.pulse & .config/pulse/] so if you see them again you know what to do

thanks for answering!

I'll try... but in what folder?, I'm a noobie here, under root, user, home?

[trytip]

home/user/.config/pulse/
or
home/user/.pulse/

You sir, are a genius! solved.

And working sound! everything is perfect, even the birds are chirping outside the window....


I deleted (see attachment) ... and those bad boys are gone.


Thanks and a very well learned lesson, I owe you a beer!

Hi, I did not installed those plugins (LADSPA), I think LMMS(music composer) or QMMP(player) did.
But they were not the problem, it was a Veromix plugin from outside PPA repositories
that messed up everything, but it is solved now, Thank you!
