There is the ALSA 10 Band Equalizer which is available from the 'Tweaks' tab of the webUI (need to be in advanced or beta mode, available at bottom of browser window). I've only played with it myself but it does work. However, if the vocals really are that 'low' compared with what you would expect, I'm wondering if there's something other the equalisation wrong. Vocals are usually recorded so that they come in the middle of the stereo field, which means that they usually come out of both speakers equally. Sometimes if one channel is out of phase then anything placed centrally (including vocals) in the mix can seem to be at reduced volume compared with other stuff which may be mixed more to the left or right in the stereo field. Some mp3 players have a Karaoke mode which does this on purpose. Is it possible that the HiFiberry has a setting somewhere that inverts the phase of one channel? I'm assuming that the rest of the system is properly wired up with regards to phase. --Ian --ian ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stoker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8264 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107352 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
