Audio Control Center for Linux?

Question

Preferably something similar to Xonar Audio Center. I use it on Windows and like how easy it is to create custom EQ-settings, switch on 7.1 virtual surround on the fly, and increasing the power given to my headphones by the sound card.

The user has full control over the effects order. Just use the up/down arrows next to the plugin label at the left side. To be able to use all plugins you must have the following installed in your system:

GStreamer Plugins Good. Version 1.12.5 or higher
GStreamer Plugins Bad. Version 1.12.5 or higher
Calf Studio Plugins. Version 0.90 or higher.

Install

To install PulseEffects on Ubuntu >= 18.04 (18.04, 18.10 etc.) do:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mikhailnov/pulseeffects -y
sudo apt update
sudo apt install pulseeffects pulseaudio --install-recommends

PulseAudio >=12 is recommended (see issue #99). It will be installed from this PPA. Ubuntu's patches are ported from Ubuntu 18.10 to 18.04.

These package should, but probably won't be compatible with recent releases of Debian/Deepin and other Debian-based distributions. To try installing PulseEffects on Debian/Deepin:

echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mikhailnov/pulseeffects/ubuntu bionic main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mikhailnov-ubuntu-pulseeffects-bionic.list
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys FE3AE55CF74041EAA3F0AD10D5B19A73A8ECB754 
echo -e "Package: * \nPin: release o=LP-PPA-mikhailnov-pulseeffects \nPin-Priority: 1" | sudo tee /etc/preferences.d/mikhailnov-ubuntu-pulseeffects-ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install pulseeffects
