Yeah I'm Engineering Major and have no clue which slider to move to hear what i want =) But with every music player I use I've always went into the equaliser, was choosing between preset options. Finding the one I like best and always increased the pre-amplifier to get louder music. I would find it extremely useful to do that just once for all apps that produce sound. As for bugs I was annoyed that speakers on my laptop were quieter under ubuntu until I was told to use EQ to crank the speakers higher without getting distortion when the sound is maxed out. > I personally think we need to think very very carefully about how we > implement EQ, and whether it is needed by the vast majority of people. > Why can't the EQ be inside the sound properties the one you get to from current VolumeIndicator -> Preferences?
