I'm confident that this worked on earlier versions; However, this did not work for me. I'm using LM MATE 18.3, and it's up-to-date. From what I've found so far in *many* searches, there is just no audio equalizer available for 18.3, either command-line or graphical.

Can anyone help me? TIA.

This method works BUT you have to go to:

http://ppa.launchpad.net/nilarimogard/webupd8/ubuntu/pool/main/p/pulseaudio-equalizer/
and get the latest deb for your distribution.

@damonh
For security reason (especially for noobs) it's not a good idea to allow people to have access a computer via ppa.

It doesn't work for Linux Mint 18.1. Now you should install it like this:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt update
sudo apt install pulseaudio-equalizer

After installing, works for me like Romuald says : mkdir .pulse
Thanks

I had the same issue. the reason was that PulseAudio Equalizer couldn't create a new directory in the non-existing directory .pulse in my home directory.

Solution to the problem:
in a terminal:

mkdir .pulse

solved!

Didn't startup for me...

Yeah, this did not work for me. I made sure prereqs were installed and yet nothing launches when I attempt to open equalizer. Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon 64-bit.

I have been wanting an equalizer badly and this one solved it. Simple and straight forward.
