I figured out a way to avoid using EasyEffects and Xvfb and instead just use pipewire’s convolver plugin via .config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/convolver.conf and an impulse file titled neutral.wav
This way, you can set convolver as your default sink and you’ll get boosted audio at a system level. The only issue I’m running into is trying to get it to work on Fedora (both Nobara and Bazzite).
When you change the volume with the hardware volume buttons in ChimeraOS while in Game Mode, the volume for the virtual sink gets adjusted accordingly. If you try it on Nobara (and I presume Bazzite as well), changing the volume with the hardware buttons or the UI both don’t work and instantly set the volume back to 100%. Any clues as to why this happens?
