That gives me great videos and with movies and even YouTube available in HD now, the only thing I was missing was good sound. For mp3 playback, I have always just chosen an audio program with an equalizer option, but that didn't help with say, playing a music DVD or a movie.
I have a dual sound system made up of a pair of Logitech stereo speaker systems, each with its own Sub Woofter. That gives me the depth of sound I want at a very affordable price, since I've had the speaker systems for about ten years.
Today I discovered someone has created a nice equalizer that works brilliantly with PulseAudio, (which is something I always install anyway):
It can be installed by doing the following in a terminal.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pulseaudio-equalizer
As usual, I copied the .deb file in case I ever lose the ppa, or want to remove/ disable it.
Packages you installed manually will be in /var/cache/apt/archive/ so I just copy them into a software downloads folder.
Once it is installed it will be in the menu under Multimedia.
I modified my settings like the image below for the speaker set I have, but there are plenty of presets to use as a start point.
