T2 MacBook Pro EasyEffects Preset

This preset for the EasyEffects app enhances speaker quality for T2 Linux users.

It has been tested on a MacBook Pro 15,1 (2019) running Fedora 39 and Arch Linux, but it should be compatible with any other PipeWire-based distribution.

The processing chain consists of: High-pass filter → Bass Enhancer → Multiband Compressor → Stereo Tools → Limiter → Equalizer.

Requirements

• EasyEffects ≥ 7.x
• LSP Plugins (LV2)
• CALF Studio Gear (LV2)
• PipeWire audio server

Installation

Automatic (recommended)

Run the provided installer script — it detects your distro, installs all dependencies, copies the preset, and configures autoloading:

git clone https://github.com/angelobdev/t2-easyeffects-preset
cd t2-easyeffects-preset
./install.sh

If dependencies are already installed, you can skip that step:

./install.sh --no-deps

Supported package managers: pacman (Arch), dnf (Fedora/RHEL), apt (Debian/Ubuntu).

Manual

1. Install EasyEffects, LSP Plugins, and CALF Studio Gear from your distro's repositories.

2. Copy mbp.json to ~/.config/easyeffects/output/.

3. Open EasyEffects and go to the Pipewire tab.

4. Go to Presets Autoloading, select your Apple speakers output device (usually listed as Apple Audio Device or Apple Audio Device Pro) and the mbp preset, then click +.

5. Open Preferences (three-dot menu, top right) and enable Launch Service at System Startup.

6. Enjoy!
