Preferably something similar to Xonar Audio Center. I use it on Windows and like how easy it is to create custom EQ-settings, switch on 7.1 virtual surround on the fly, and increasing the power given to my headphones by the sound card.

Install

To install PulseEffects on Ubuntu >= 18.04 (18.04, 18.10 etc.) do:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mikhailnov/pulseeffects -y
sudo apt update
sudo apt install pulseeffects pulseaudio --install-recommends

PulseAudio >=12 is recommended (see issue #99). It will be installed from this PPA. Ubuntu's patches are ported from Ubuntu 18.10 to 18.04.

These package should, but probably won't be compatible with recent releases of Debian/Deepin and other Debian-based distributions. To try installing PulseEffects on Debian/Deepin:

echo "deb bionic main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mikhailnov-ubuntu-pulseeffects-bionic.list
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys FE3AE55CF74041EAA3F0AD10D5B19A73A8ECB754
echo -e "Package: * \nPin: release o=LP-PPA-mikhailnov-pulseeffects \nPin-Priority: 1" | sudo tee /etc/preferences.d/mikhailnov-ubuntu-pulseeffects-ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install pulseeffects
