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).

Do you have the version 1 (original) or the version 2 (80 dB) of the Framework speakers?

Version 1 (I got a framework 12 and so far have only swapped the screen). Now that I think of it, which one is the official EQ for?

I was thinking of the same but perhaps it's for both. I saw an explanation that the EQ compensates for the biases caused by the laptop chassis.
