Are you using Linux and easy effects? There’s a pretty good profile that makes them sound much better ---

Yes I am on linux and have used easy effects, it helps, but sometimes it just stops working and I have to quit easy effects. Or even if I have headphones or an external speaker plugged in then the profile applies to those too, and then it sounds wrong. ---

I’d also like to see them fix this with better tuning in the firmware if possible so things like this aren’t necessary ---

In the EasyEffects under the “Pipewire” tab, there is a “Presets Autoloading” item, where you can configure profiles to autoload. You can configure one profile for Builtin and another one for, say HDMI. I’d assume you could similarly put a profile for “headphone” in. This has been switching seamlessly in the background for me since the time I installed it. ---

I see that option, do you have to set it up for each output? Each different Bluetooth speaker/headphones? Would be nice to just say “if built in, then profile, else, no profile” Also seems like I need a “blank” profile for my other outputs rather than just disabling it ---

Yes, it does seem the presets are bound to specific output devices. Interesting fact: the presets match on (Device,Name,Profile), even though the drop-down box is for device only. So you can have a preset for Built-in Audio Analog Stereo/analog-output-speaker as well as one for Built-in Audio Analog Stereo/analog-output-headphones (and it’s probably a good idea to have both!). You’d set them by selecting them when that configuration is in force. I was not able to find a way to set wildcards or an option “use this preset for any unknown device/profile”. But if you diligently set presets whenever you don’t like the sound quality for a while, you should have most of your devices covered pretty quickly. ---
