- To insert classical Winamp EQ presets:
user $wget -O $HOME/.config/audacious/eq.preset https://gist.github.com/666threesixes666/6017524/raw/6f92831829453dd659f063299ba1bdf775a893ac/wapresetsTroubleshooting
PipeWire
When running Audacious with PipeWire, you may experience the following error:
user $audaciousERROR ../src/pipewire/pipewire.cc:341 [init_core]: PipeWireOutput: unable to initialize loop
Switching to PulseAudio or ALSA in settings should resolve this.
