I found adding thin rubber pads to the top and bottom of the speakers helped. They also helped firm up the keyboard when placed on other flat areas under the keyboard. They are the smallest ones in this set. About 1mm thick and 6mm in diameter.
I’m running Ubuntu 22.04 and was able to get EasyEffects working after I uninstalled PulseAudio and replaced it with PipeWire following this guide then I was able to see my outputs and adjust the EQ from there.
On another note I have the 80db speakers and the presets do definitely reduce the muddiness of them as well. I can’t say how accurate the sounds are now as I have no way of testing the audio other than to listen but I’m enjoying it a lot more now
I think the best thing to do is fire up some tunes you know well and just adjust till you like what you hear the most. Don’t worry about “accuracy” go for what sounds good to you.
This is a manually created profile. I could add more bands, but there is not much benefit to that, as the achieved flatness is already satisfactory.
Also, equalizing minor deviations from the flat target is not always a good choice, as they could be caused by measurement errors, diffraction, the influence of the room, or other factors.
Many people have found that the built-in microphone sounds very distorted in Linux. If you’re already got Easy Effects running for your output profile, you can also switch to the inputs tab and add an AutoGain filter to fix that.
After briefly checking what FxSound offers, I don’t see the capability of defining Q-factor for filters, or arbitrarily setting center frequencies. The latter might be possible, though.
Therefore, it does not qualify for use with my preset. You will probably not be able to replicate my filter curve.
@elagil Is there maybe a possibility for you to create a custom equalizer profile for the Framework 16 as well? I think there should be quite some room for improvement, the stock tuning is not on point and sounds pretty bad, at least compared to my excellent Samsung Series 9 laptop speakers.
Alright, I kinda hoped that you maybe ordered one yourself or know someone who did. If you’d be residing somewhere along the Hamburg-Berlin latitude I would’ve brought my FW 16 to your door, but I guess you are unfortunately more remote than that.
I’ve had trouble with bad trebble resonance causing a high picth shrill sound on certain frequencies.
After a lot of testing, this is the EQ I got that almost completely removes it. Notes that I have the louder 80DB speakers so use this as a platform to tune your own.
