Huh, I didn't realize pipewire had builtin support for this! I've been using a different piece of software called Easy Effects[1] on my framework laptop.

To equalize my laptop, I ended up buying a umik-1, and using REW to calculate all the filter coefficients (you can import REW's filter export right into Easy Effects). It's a subtle difference at first, but it's much cleaner (I also usually have a compressor and loudness effect enabled, as the framework speakers are pretty quiet).

Would you share the profiles you used for your framework ? I have one too and it could use a better sound

If it's a 13, there's a couple linked from here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Framework_Laptop_13_(AMD_Ry...

I use the "cab404" one and very impressed with it.

Here's the one I created, but be sure to try the others like @blutack mentioned: https://gist.github.com/smj-edison/280c7b293f727b40c29ffef3d...
