Question : does oss4 have a system wide equalizer ?

Hello
everything is in the title ...

Or if there is no native equalizer, is there a way to install .. a patch or another software that do the job ?

Thank you in advance

(PS : I already have an alsa equalizer with both alsaequal and ladspa ... but I want to move to oss4)

I didn't quite understand what you mean, but I think yes.
There's a native equalizer called ossmix (graphical version - ossxmix) That can control global volume and per application volume.

That's a mixer, not an equalizer. Mixer is for per-app volume and mixing, equalizer is to adjust the bass/trebles in the sound. And sorry, don't use OSS.

I believe you must use JACK if you wish to have a global equalizer using OSS.

I want to switch to oss because alsa take 30 % of my CPU (15 % without equalizer)...
(I have a "11:00:07.0 Audio device [0403]: nVidia Corporation MCP72XE/MCP72P/MCP78U/MCP78S High Definition Audio [10de:0774] (rev a1)")

JACK is maybe a little bit complicated for me .. but I will try ...

I found :
