Howto: Equalizer in Rhythmbox

Posted by iheartubuntu on Thursday, August 26, 2010

For many of us who use Rhythmbox, we have all found out it does not come with an equalizer. There is a simple fix. First go to the link below and download the newest option titled "rbeq-1.4.tar.gz"

http://code.google.com/p/rbeq/downloads/list

I usually download files directly to my home directory, making it easier to run installation commands. After downloading the file in the link above, open a terminal (applications > terminal) and run this command:

tar -xvzf rbeq-1.4.tar.gz -C ~/.gnome2

Open up Rhythmbox now and go to Edit > Plugins and checkmark the "Rhythmbox Equalizer" box. You can now find the EQ under "Tools" from the main Rhythmbox menu list.

This comes with a few preset EQ settings and here are a few more I like (not listed)....





If you want some more Rhythmbox plugins, try some from this list...

  2. Jasbutut. Thanks for the comment. I have been testing this over the weekend. And it appears stable. I did have it crash Rhythmbox after installation of the EQ, but have not since had a problem.
