Question 1. When I try to install from source I get the following error: wrong parameters to Project(), minimum project name and one language is required. How do I solve this?
Answer: Your version of Meson is too old. Try to install the latest one from the Python Package Index. See the official instructions for getting meson for more information.
Question 2. System dark mode setting doesn't work.
Answer:
As of version 6.2.0 EasyEffects uses the Color Scheme portal to automatically follow your system's dark mode preference. A GTK theme is not relevant or required for this to work. However, the Color Scheme portal requires desktop support.
On KDE Plasma 5.24 or later:
Go to System Settings and set light or dark theme which EasyEffects will follow.
xdg-desktop-portal >= 1.12.0
xdg-desktop-portal-kde >= 5.24.0
xdg-desktop-portal-gtk >= 1.12.0 (only Flatpak EasyEffects needs this for correct font rendering)
On GNOME 42 or later:
You can set light or dark within GNOME Settings which EasyEffects will follow.
xdg-desktop-portal >= 1.12.0
xdg-desktop-portal-gnome >= 42
On elementary OS 6.1 or later:
Set dark mode in elementary settings.
If your desktop does not yet have support, you can temporarily use the dark mode toggle in EasyEffects Preferences. There may be a 3 option switch in the future (follow system preference, force light, and force dark).
Question 3. I can not enable effects for applications when using Deepin.
Answer: Try to disable audio from dconf (com.deepin.dde.daemon) and restart Deepin. See #240
Question 4 - EasyEffects is available in my language, but I see it in English. Where do I can switch language?
Answer: You are probably using EasyEffects under Plasma 5 desktop environment. Sometimes Plasma makes a little mess with locale settings. Just delete ~/.config/plasma-locale-settings.sh and restart the session.
Question 5 - How to disable EasyEffects config when using headphones?
Answer: One solution for this is to create a preset where all plugins are disabled and create a preset autoloading profile that loads this preset when the headphone is plugged.
Question 6 - Input processing does not apply to Firefox - how to enable it?
Answer: See this comment. When Firefox asks which input device to use, choose "EasyEffects Source". Don't check "Remember this device", otherwise, the next time something uses your microphone, it'll use the default non-processed input, rather than EasyEffects Source.
Question 7 - No sound or low sound in EasyEffects after loading a PulseEffects preset?
Answer: PulseEffects presets are not compatible with EasyEffects. IF you tried that without converting the preset to new format as explained at in Community Presets reset EasyEffects so that the bad configuration can be undone.
Question 8 - Why do the start at login and shutdown on window close switches not work?
Answer: The Flatpak package uses the background portal to ask the system for background/autostart access. Unfortunately, not all distros ship working support for the background portal out of the box.
In that case, you can manually add an autostart file as described here.
In case you accidentally denied background access to EasyEffects, run flatpak permission-reset com.github.wwmm.easyeffects to let EasyEffects ask again for the background portal.
