This application used to be called PulseEffects but it was renamed to EasyEffects after we started to use GTK4 and replaced GStreamer by native PipeWire filters.
This is really useful for cleaning up audio when doing recordings for videos. Yes OBS Studio has many of these built-in, but if you are using third party screen recorders like say SimpleScreenRecorder, they have no audio input processing, and this is where EasyEffects is really useful. There are a good 23 effects, but some like auto gain, compressor, equalizer, and noise reduction will be most useful.
I installed from AUR for Arch Linux, but there is also a Flatpak install that should install on most Linux distros.

I tried pipewire for a month , i had too many bug, it probably work better on a brand new install
Yes I’m not sure how exactly it works, but it seems to be a hybrid of sorts as it controls PulseAudio on my machine. So PulseAudio is still present. Only weird thing I have is it auto-mutes all the time if the machine is not used for a bit.
I had a balance problem when i increased the volume via cli but not the applet.
Also some volume issue.
But my install is 5 year old and I’m pretty sure I’m hauling some old config that break stuff down.
