[...]how to change sound equalizer [...]

Hi!
This is hardware related, there is nothing to change.
You need a 5.1 or higher hardware for this to show on the default PulseAudio interface.

The other approach, is to install a SOFTWARE MIXER.
Do a search on Google, there are many choices available:
Linux multichannel mixer (https://www.google.com/search?q=linux+multichannel+mixer)
Hope this will shed some light on the subject.
Good luck! :)

That app seems to be a dell app for its own products. On linux you could try puseaudio-equalizer and pulseffects:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install pulse-equalizer

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install pulseffetcs
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/+package/pulseaudio-equalizer

https://github.com/wwmm/pulseeffects

Hope this helps! :)

@f23948

The command has changed slightly since the post was created...

Try

Code: [Select]

sudo apt install pulseaudio-equalizer

Here is a walk thru on install and use.. NOTE there are 2 ways of install - I would use the standard repo (command above) and SKIP the PPA install.
https://linuxhint.com/install-pulseaudio-equalizer-linux-mint/#:~:text=PulseAudio%20Equalizer%20is%20a%20free,from%20an%20external%20PPA%20repository.


I tested in my LL5.8 VM and the walk thru was spot on - including the error...
