commit a0011c74f8f026e04803b9815198a56f50c247e6 Author: Christos Margiolis <[email protected]> AuthorDate: 2026-04-16 14:26:25 +0000 Commit: Christos Margiolis <[email protected]> CommitDate: 2026-05-27 15:27:11 +0000 sound: Expose EQ by default The dev.pcm.%d.eq* sysctls and mixer "bass" and "treble" controls are exposed only if hint.pcm.%d.eq is set. However, there is no good reason why we shouldn't at least expose the controls, and let the user enable/disable/bypass equalization through the sysctl.
