my ubuntu has upgraded from 16.04 to 17.04. I didn't had pulse-equalizer before. I asked a question and I found a solution to installing the program from this link. All installed correctly and found it on synaptic package manager and working properly, I mean no error but I couldn't find any program named 'Pulse Equalizer' from my dash. I'm pretty novice on ubuntu. Help me to get out guys! :|

pulseaudio-equalizer:

The program is called pulseaudio-equalizer. To make sure you really installed it, you can type the command

apt-cache policy pulseaudio-equalizer

On my 14.04 system this returns

pulseaudio-equalizer:
  Installed: 2.7.0.2-4~webupd8~1
  Candidate: 2.7.0.2-4~webupd8~1
  Version table:
 *** 2.7.0.2-4~webupd8~1 0
        500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/nilarimogard/webupd8/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Note that I installed it from a ppa.

Once installed, it shows up in the dash as expected.

I suspect you did not install it successfully.

  • I edited your question to include this information, but some of it looks funny, as if you left some information out, and included some extra numbers. You should edit your question to fix this stuff I pasted in, and include everything. – Organic Marble Sep 04 '17 at 16:36
  • as I said I'm pretty novice in here!

On my 17.10 system the equalizer program is also not showing up in the dash. To open the equalizer i used these steps.

First load the modules:

pactl load-module module-equalizer-sink
pactl load-module module-dbus-protocol

And then open the equalizer:
