pulseaudio-equalizer-gtk fails to load - ValueError: could not convert string to float #36

Closed dotpointer closed 5 years ago

I tried this on Debian 9 and I have used kernelOfTruth:s pulseaudio-equalizer before I tried to run this. I followed the readme instructions.

The pulseaudiio-equalizer enable command runs fine, except that it never enables the equalizer.

If I run pulseaudio-equalizer-gtk then I get the following error:

Maybe this has something to do with previous configuration files or such, but I renamed equalizerrc* and also presets directory. I also ensured that there were no binaries from the other version left.

You had the right idea, this file is the problem. Just delete it and launch pulseaudio-equalizer-gtk again, it will create a brand new config file which works this time

But I renamed it, does it find it anyway?

Oxygels commented 5 years ago

If you renamed it, pulseaudio-equalizer should create a new config file with the correct name. Is it correct ? Or you still have the problem ?

If you still have problems, here's my ~/.config/pulse/equalizerrc file : https://hastebin.com/beyukoyifo.css

Not sure why, but when I tested pulseaudio-equalizer and pulseaudio-equalizer-gtk now without installing it, then they ran well. Equalizer was enabled and the GUI appears and is usable.

Found that there are two locations for equalizerrc:

Tested to remove the config, but it did not regenerate, did not test the GUI, only disable/enable.

So, I guess this works then. Thanks for the assistance.
