Alsaequal not working

When i change the settings through alsamixer -D equal , it doesnt seem to have any effect on the sound.
This is my /etc/asound.conf

# Use PulseAudio by default
pcm.!default {
  type pulse
  fallback "sysdefault"
  hint {
    show on
    description "Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)"
  }
}

ctl.!default {
  type pulse
  fallback "sysdefault"
}



################ALSAEQUAL

ctl.equal {
  type equal;
  library "/usr/lib/ladspa/mbeq_1197.so";
  module "mbeq";
}

pcm.plugequal {
  type equal;
  slave.pcm "plughw:0,0";
  library "/usr/lib/ladspa/mbeq_1197.so";
  module "mbeq";
}

pcm.!default {
   type plug;
   slave.pcm plugequal;
}
################ALSAEQUAL

# vim:set ft=alsaconf:

Any ideas?

Re: Alsaequal not working

As the first comment line says, you are using PulseAudio, which has its own equalizer qpaeq. Suggestion: Either use qpaeq with PulseAudio or disable PulseAudio in /etc/asound.conf (comment every line until the alsaequal block) and use plain ALSA with alsaequal.
