All of this may be old hat for macOS and Windows, but it's entirely new to Linux. That's kind of the point.

- AshamedCaptain 3y agoEasyEffects is designed for Linux. xprot is designed for Linux. Both open-source. And used in consumer products. (And all of this is ignoring the bunch of Android stuff which while Linux doesn't classify as "desktop Linux").
- TimTheTinker 3y agoI mean a vendor-specific DSP/speakersafetyd/hardware chain being exposed as the onboard speaker device for certain laptops, instead of the raw device. This has never existed as an OOTB experience. In Apple's case, it's absolutely necessary to avoid blowing up the speakers - hence why they disabled speaker output before the audio chain was done.
- AshamedCaptain 3y agoIt is exactly like that on the Nokia Internet tablets. Speaker protection is literally the role of xprot, which is integrated into pulseaudio -- "necessary to prevent the speakers from blowing out". It even depends on things like the ambient temperature.
- TimTheTinker 3y agoI wasn't aware of that - thanks for the info!

- nicolaslem 3y agoI have been using impulse responses on Linux via EasyEffects for a while now. This is not new to Linux.
