Eq and volume control available

    Hi Thanks for reading.

    1. Is there an audio eq available for libreelec

    2. I have an active subwoofer and am wondering if there is a filter available for splitting the bass away from the midrange and treble, so i can feed it to the sub.

    3. In the volume control, it is possible to lower or raise the volume using the mouse wheel, but the increments are too big and the volume jumps up and down too much, is it possible to get smaller jumps.

    Many thanks

    In your first post you mentioned an x86 installation of LE, and a non-working sound card. Is this the setup we talk about?

    1. I don't know any EQ / DSP software for LE. DSP action is usually done by external hardware (AVR or dedicated DSP processor).

    2. Frequency splitting is usually done by the subwoofer (serial connection), or by the AVR (parallel connection). Not by LE.

    3. Volume control steps

    Thanks.

    That's question 1 and 2 answered, but what about the volume control steps.

    The smallest increments of adjustment is 10, it doesn't go any lower than that. I have it set to 10 but it is still too much.

    One turn of the mouse wheel and the sound is too loud, another turn in the other direction and the volume is too low.

    I am running the audio into a quad power amp that does not have volume control.

    Is it possible to adjust the software to go lower than 10, to give finer adjustments to the audio

    Thanks, i'll give that a try.

    I've got all my media files on hard drive, and am wanting to create a small partition on the same hard drive to install libre elec.

    Can i do that.

    The installer states that the hard drive will be wiped, which i don't want. I can get libre elec to wipe just the small partition.

    Thanks.

    You can do it, but not using our installer.

    LE requires two partitions: one for /flash (boot files) and one for /storage (persistent data) and on x86_64 hardware you can use MSDOS or GPT partition schemes. The boot volume can be either vfat or ext4 but storage MUST be a linux filesystem type (ext4) else we cannot set secure SSH key permissions and you'll never be able to login to the device console.

    If the current filesystem is a Linux format then you can use Gparted from e.g. an Ubuntu Live USB image to shrink/move the current partition to make space for the /boot volume (512MB is enough) and mount the existing partition as /storage. Install syslinux or GRUB to the boot partition with an extlinux.conf that sets boot=/dev/sda1 disk=/dev/sda2 etc. and then copy the KERNEL and SYSTEM files over, and on first boot we will (re)create the .kodi and .cache and .config folders that we need on /storage.

    If the current filesystem is a Windows format then you need to create TWO partitions so that we can store Kodi data correctly etc. - the media partition will auto-mount and be usable. I'd create the /storage partition at 8GB .. it's normally enough for all the thumbs and other cruft that Kodi accumulates in use.
