https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio#PulseEffects
PulseEffects is a GTK advanced utility for applying several audio effects (e.g. Noise reduction, Equalizer etc.) to audio input and output.
I decided to use pulseaudio and because the main version of PulseEffects only supports Pipewire now, we need to install the pulseeffects-legacy package from AUR.
To Install PulseEffects simply navigate to the archice directory and run the "install_pulseeffects.sh" script as user:
./install_pulseeffects.sh
Shortcuts can be configured in ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml
- Terminal - CTRL + ALT + T
- Screenshot(to ~/Pictures) - Print
- Screenshot(to clipboard) - Shift + Print
- Screenshot(Selection/GUI) - CTRL + Shift + Print
- Synapse(Search/Open programs/Start menu) - Super + Space
- Thunar(File manager) - Super + E
- On first startup the sound may be muted by default. If that happens simply middle click on the sound tray icon to open the volume mixer (pavucontrol) and unmute your speakers.
