For equalizing newbies I'll remind you that a good equalizer set doesn't go above 0 decibels (in other words, above the center level). Now, run pulseaudio-equalizer-gtk and play with equalizer settings.

Remember that you need to install swh-plugins and bc from your distribution's repositories, python is of course needed too but you probably already have that one. (where /home/sado/pulseaudio is the folder you unpacked to). DEB file, unpack file from the inside, and copy contents of 'usr' folder to your /usr with command: If you have another distro, or got any problems installing the package in Ubuntu the normal way, you canР вЂ™Р’В unpack. If you use Ubuntu, it probably will install fine. The trick is to install Pulseaudio Equalizer, or use equalizer built into your music player (like Clementine, which I am using) - but Pulseaudio equ's advantage is that it will also change equ settings for YouTube videos etc.

Now, after almost 3 months with my card, and being forced to listen to music on Windows for this time, I found a dumb way to make Linux-powered Xonar DG produce nice bass. I assume both of the proper settings sort-of workaround amplifier chip (I can notice a 'tick' sound coming from the card when changing the setting, by the way). When set to 'Headphones' I got no sounds. Also because of that, I needed toР вЂ™Р’В set 'Analog output' to either 'Speakers' or 'FP Headphones'.

The problem is missing headphone amplifier support for this card in ALSA. ButР вЂ™Р’В sound was exactly like on my integrated shitty card, much quieter than on Windows and with distorted bass, which made me sad - I bought this card to use it mainly with Linux, right? (that was a good excuse to replace my Gentoo install with Pulseaudio-defaulting Ubuntu to make things easier) It worked, I could hear sounds and change the volume. That was because volume controls were missing - as ALSA wiki suggests, I needed to install Pulseaudio as a workaround. It turned out that this card doesn't have much more features working than playing sounds.Р вЂ™Р’В First,Р вЂ™Р’В the card even seemed not to work. Switching to Linux, it wasn't so nice though. On Windows, after playing a bit with bundled software's settings (key option: headphone impendance, also some bassy equalizing needs to be done), the bass was clear, loud, and I could finally enjoy my quality headphones. It has integrated headphone amplifier, it's kinda cheap (25Р Р†РІР‚С™Р’В¬ ),Р вЂ™Р’В quick check on Phoronix seemed to confirm that the card has (relatively new) ALSA drivers, so I thought 'that's my new card'.Р вЂќР вЂћnyway, with my new Xonar DG in my computer's PCI slot, I started testing out what it has to offer. I bought ASUS Xonar DG sound card, which looked like the best option for me. I paid for these headphones ~45Р Р†РІР‚С™Р’В¬ after all, and heavily distorted bass from my built-in Realtek card wasn't what I was looking for, especially considering that 70% of my music is very bassy.

Once I decided that my soundcard was crap, and I need a relatively cheap soundcard that can produce anything worthy from my Sennheiser HD438 headphones.
