pulseaudio-equalizer in dom0 works, then conflicts

[Chris Laprise]

I was looking for a system-wide graphic equalizer for Qubes and decided
to install the pulseaudio-equalizer package. It worked beautifully after
installation; effective with no apparent problems.

But after rebooting the system, dom0 was blind to any audio "apps" (VMs)
so there was no way to play audio from VMs.

I'd be interested if anyone thinks they know why this conflict occurs
and/or possible workarounds.

I don't know why, but this fixed it for me.

sudo qubes-dom0-update pulseaudio-qpaeq

sudo qubes-dom0-update pulseaudio-equalizer


nano $HOME/.pulse/default.pa

In the section for pulseaudio-equalizer, added:

load-module module-equalizer-sink
load-module module-dbus-protocol
