If someone wants to try they can install alsa-tools and then apply the framework 13 hardware eq profile to see what it sounds like on the 16. It sounds a lot different on my 13. It’s possible something could go wrong. I would suggest turning the speaker volume all the way down first. I may need to alter the verbs a bit if someone tests and finds out something is weird. The framework 16 is bi-amped. I don’t have one to test.

No guarantees you don’t blow up something. Get ready to stop playback/mute/etc.

You can also try disabling the EQ to see how that sounds.

Edit: As the FW16 is biamped there could be EQing per tweeter and woofer but not sure how that works yet.
