the pulseaudio is only letting me adjust left and right, i have it set to 5.1, how do i get an equalizer?
What about pavucontrol?
thats identical has speaker control but nothing for like bass and treb.
"aptitude search equalize"
"aptitude show pulseaudio-equalizer"
Good players generally include equalizers. For example, vlc under "Show extended settings" has 3 controls: Equalizer, Compressor and Spatializer:

The Equalizer offers presets by genre.
I have no experience with pulseaudio equalizer, because on my set-up (openbox) it requires an additional 41 packages installed or upgraded, which involves 43 MB additional space.
I have written a client for Xmms2 for which I had to code my own equalizer (requested by user) but as with anything xmms2 related I was lucky enough to find some good examples to learn from. I don't know why nobody has thought to have this sort of setting in standard audio settings though, I'm sure it would be popular.
