Sound equalizer would be amazing

[TheRealRws]

Recently got new earbuds but they are a bit too low on the bass department. On my phone i can use an equalizer but on the steamdeck there isnt anything available for GAME MODE.
I am aware i can get flatpacks for desktop but i want it to be used in game mode.

I do feel like this is a pretty basic feature for a device to have of this calibre.

Seconded I'd love an equaliser function too, playing ets2 listening to the radio sounds poor as there's too much mid and not enough highs and lows. Would like a little bit of adjustment.

If you are more pro about sound, you will know that, if you have a good soundcard and good speakers, there is no need for any EQ. EQ just destort quality, but you cannot feel it.
If you want a real EQ, then get hardware one. Or get better quality speakers.

Hey man if I just want to use my easy earbuds but they have a little bit to much sound on the higher range. I just want an easy portable way to reduce it.

You can run flatpaks in game mode...... Setup the equalizer as a non steam application and run it in game mode.

Desktop mode and gamemode use the same sound server. You modify pipewire easy effects.
