Equalizer Can't Start

My audio is working fine, but equalizer won't run.

Alsamixer works no problem. To get audio working, i had to change card from 0 to 1 in .asoundrc

pcm.!default {
	type hw
	card 1
}

ctl.!default {
	type hw           
	card 1
}

I installed equalizer according to
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Advanc … #Equalizer

I Installed the alsaequal AUR package, created /etc/asound.conf, and

$ pacman -Q | grep alsa
alsa-card-profiles 1:0.3.80-1
alsa-lib 1.2.10-2
alsa-plugins 1:1.2.7.1-2
alsa-topology-conf 1.2.5.1-3
alsa-ucm-conf 1.2.10-2
alsa-utils 1.2.10-1
alsaequal v0.7.1-1

But:

$ alsamixer -D equal
Failed to load plugin "caps.so": caps.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I installed caps (used to be in AUR, now in main repo)
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=148917

But still getting same error.

I ran the statement here, but accidentally neglected to use "/usr/lib32/ladspa/"
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/4577

I don't know how or if i need to back out of the above (cuz accidentally neglected to use "/usr/lib32/ladspa/"), or if that's even the fix for the EQ.

But still getting:

Re: Equalizer Can't Start

According to https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/alsaequal you can solve this by exporting the LADSPA_PATH. It did solve the issue for me, but I also had previously installed `alsa-plugins` and `ladspa`.

"exporting the environment variable

LADSPA_PATH=/usr/lib/ladspa

should fix the caps.so issue."
