  • Plugins are active and configurable in the pulseeffects GUI

Current Behaviour

  • Pulseeffects sinks are loaded and running

I just leave some information here, maybe it'll be useful for someone.
On Linux Mint 19.1, with the deb release after the update the lsp-plugins-lv2 package didn't got installed, it caused the equalizer and some other plugins not to work. Equalizer sometimes was disabled, sometimes enabled but noneffective. Debug provided similar information. After installing the mentioned package now everything seems to work.

The latest versions have some big changes compared to the one you are coming from. The equalizer is now the one from Linux Studio Plugins http://lsp-plug.in/?page=manuals&section=para_equalizer_x32_lr. At least on Arch Linux its package is named lsp-plugins. I don't know how it is named on other distributions. If you want to have all plugins you need more packages like the one for Calf Studio plugins. Take a look at the libraries listed in our readme https://github.com/wwmm/pulseeffects/blob/master/README.md

Also notice that only the 3.x series needs the python dependencies you installed with dnf. From version 4 onwards, we moved to C++.

It may also be worth to do what is in point 6 of our FAQ https://github.com/wwmm/pulseeffects/wiki/FAQ. I think that this GStreamer bug is back...

The package ladspa-swh-plugins is not needed.
