Description

I can't seem to get the EQ Presets to work. I have an eq.presets, I've put it in the right location and I can import it into Audacious.
The problem is I don't see a way to select the different settings that were just imported.

Can someone tell me what I'm missing?

Thanks.

History

#1 Updated by John Lindgren over 2 years ago

After you imported the eq.presets file, do you see a list of presets in the "Equalizer Presets" window?
If the presets are listed, you should be able to double-click one of them to apply it.
If no presets are listed, something went wrong with the import (maybe the eq.presets file is invalid).

No, I do not. It shows the file has been imported and gives it the label eq but I can't do anything with it.
Nothing happens if I double click on it.

For the file I just made a text file of the settings from this github post and saved it as eq.preset.

I also tried with other pre-saved files and the same thing happens.

Here's the file I'm trying to use.

So the equalizer preset formats are a little confusing -- the formats you can import/export are different than the internal format (saved under ~/.config/audacious/eq.preset).
The file you uploaded is the internal format. So what you can do is:

1. Exit Audacious
2. Copy that file to ~/.config/audacious/eq.preset
3. Start Audacious again -- the presets should show up now (no need to use the Import button)

Thanks for taking the time to help.

That is the first thing I tried... a few times.. and then resorted to trying withe the import button. I've gone ahead and shut down Audacious, erased the file I had at ~/.config/audacious/eq.preset, copied it back and opened Audacious once more. All I get in the presets window is eq and nothing happens when single or double clicking on it. I've tried it multiple times even before asking here.

How did you install Audacious?

Are you possibly using a flatpak or snap or something like that? (Hint: don't.)

#7 Updated by Rex Racer about 2 years ago

Indeed I did have the Flatpak version installed.....Uninstalled and installed deb version and... bingo.... all is well now.

Thank you!
