Public bug reported: Binary package hint: audacious
Hi, This is NOT a report about the audacious equaliser but about the sound audacious produces WITHOUT the equaliser. I was doing acoustic listening tests using Audacious and FLAC files when I have detected a difference between the equalisation of the sound played by Audacious. Compared to VLC or Movie Player (Ubuntu) on the same setup, same file, I can (and my colleagues also) clearly hear a lack of low and high frequencies. I have tried to compensate this problem with the equaliser of Audacious using my headphones at home. I am not an expert but the following configuration makes the sound less different than the one I hear when I use VLC or Movie Player : 60 Hz : + 3 dB 170 Hz : + 1 dB 6 kHz : + 1 dB But this does not exactly compensate the problem (it does at low frequencies I think, but not at high frequencies). I would like someone to make a test to confirm my bug report. I have checked that : - I am using the same sound output module (OSS) in both cases - The volume is the same - There is no equalisation enabled neither on VLC nor on Audacious. I have compared Audacious 1.5.0 and VLC 0.8.6e on Ubuntu Hardy.
