This is a neat project, but I'm still using PulseEffects, which appears to be more fully featured: https://github.com/wwmm/pulseeffects

What Hacker News says
6 sourcesI'd like to know the same thing. I'm currently using PulseEffects [0] for my parametric eq needs, but as I use a dedicated PC to play music, it's a bit of a pain to have to connect via vnc to control it.

In Show HN: Parametric Equalizer for PulseAudioI have those headphones too, and they work very well with Linux. Actually, they work even better than Windows since Linux can be convinced to send LDAC instead of aptX. I do that using pulseaudio-modules-bt [0].
If you're into listening to music, you may be interested in AutoEQ [1]. Those guys have done some measurements and provide info on how to equalize the sound. For this particular headset, it's somewhat less boomy. You can use PulseEffects [2] to control equalization.

In Wireless Is a Trappulseeffects is a pretty neat tool for both playback and record effects including a compressor, gater, equalizer, filters, de-sser (can help quite a lot in reducing those sharp S sounds) and more. It has made a lot of presentations a lot more bearable for me, and my relatively low quality microphone in a noisy environment sound a lot better for others.
It only requires pulseaudio (almost all distro's already use it) and is available in most package repositories and as a flatpak.

In Zoom fatigue is realCheck PulseEffects, it has an UI that allows to enable and configure effects for both input and output. Last I checked, it is on the default repository of many distros.
