Question 1. When I try to install from source I get the following error: wrong parameters to Project(), minimum project name and one language is required. How do I solve this?

Answer: Your version of Meson is too old. Try to install the latest one from the Python Package Index. See the official instructions for getting meson for more information.


Question 2. Dark app theme doesn't work on KDE.

Answer: Go to System Settings -> Application Style -> Gnome Application Style (GTK). Check the GTK themes to your theme of choice, PulseEffects will follow the theme you set here. Then reboot and open PulseEffects, it should match that theme. However, if you do not wish to have a dark theme as a global default for GTK, you can alternatively use a light theme that comes with a dark pair (e.g. Breeze and its pair Breeze Dark). This will enable PulseEffects to toggle the dark mode on.


Question 3. I can not enable effects for applications when using Deepin.

Answer: Try to disable audio from dconf (com.deepin.dde.daemon) and restart Deepin. See #240


Question 4 - I don't want to use the CSD (Client Side Decoration) that comes with EasyEffects.

Answer: You can install or compile gtk3-nocsd. You will still have the issue of having two windows titles so to solve this you can add headerbar .title {color: transparent;} into ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css.


Question 5 - I'm fine with CSD, but I'd like to get shadow or border around EasyEffects window in Plasma Desktop.

Answer: It's not possible to show a shadow for GTK CSD apps in Plasma Desktop, but you can draw a border adding decoration {border: 1px solid black;} into ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css. You can also increase border size changing pixel value and use a custom color replacing black with another CSS color name.


Question 6 - After an upgrade PulseEffects stopped working. It crashes in the startup with a segfault.

Answer: This could be caused by a configuration problem. It is not clear yet why this is happening to some users after an upgrade. The command dconf reset -f /com/github/wwmm/pulseeffects/ will reset PulseEffects configurations and may fix this.


Question 7 - EasyEffects is available in my language, but I see it in English. Where do I can switch language?

Answer: You are probably using EasyEffects under Plasma 5 desktop environment. Sometimes Plasma makes a little mess with locale settings. Just delete ~/.config/plasma-locale-settings.sh and restart the session.


Question 8 - How to disable PulseEffects config when using headphones?

Answer: One solution for this is to create a preset where all plugins are disabled and create a preset autoloading profile that loads this preset when the headphone is plugged.


Question 9 - Input processing does not apply to Firefox - how to enable it?

Answer: See this comment. When Firefox asks which input device to use, choose "PulseEffects Source". Don't check "Remember this device", otherwise, the next time something uses your microphone, it'll use the default non-processed input, rather than EasyEffects Source.


Question 10 - No sound or low sound in EasyEffects after loading a PulseEffects preset?

Answer: PulseEffects presets are not compatible with EasyEffects. IF you tried that without converting the preset to new format as explained at https://github.com/wwmm/easyeffects/wiki/Community-Presets reset EasyEffects so that the bad configuration can be undone.
