About JDSP4Linux
JDSP4Linux (JamesDSP for Linux) is an open-source audio effect processor that inserts effects into the audio pipeline for PipeWire and PulseAudio clients on Linux. It is a Linux port of JamesDSP, originally an Android audio effects processor, and is developed by Tim Schneeberger.
The application is designed for PipeWire, with PulseAudio supported only for backward compatibility; the PulseAudio backend is in maintenance mode and will continue to receive UI-related updates. Some capabilities, such as selective app exclusion and changing the target audio device, are available only to PipeWire clients. Installation options include a Flatpak package on Flathub, Arch Linux (AUR), Fedora/openSUSE, and building from source, with separate instructions for the PulseAudio version.
Key features
- Automatic bass boost that analyzes the incoming stream to set its own parameters
- Automated multiband dynamic range compressor
- Interpolated FIR equalizer and arbitrary-response GraphicEQ
- Partitioned convolver supporting mono, stereo and true stereo impulse responses
- EEL2 scripting engine with auto-generated UI and minimal scripting IDE
- AutoEQ database integration requiring a network connection
Best for: Linux users running PipeWire who want configurable system-wide audio effects and equalization.

JDSP4Linux FAQ
Does JDSP4Linux work with PulseAudio?
Yes, but only for backward compatibility. The PulseAudio backend is in maintenance mode and will continue to receive UI-related feature updates, while more advanced support is planned for PipeWire clients only.
How can I check whether my system uses PipeWire or PulseAudio?
Run LC_ALL=C pactl info | grep "Server Name:" in a terminal. PipeWire shows output such as "PulseAudio (on PipeWire 0.3.35)"; PulseAudio shows "Server Name: pulseaudio".
How is the application installed?
For PipeWire, options include a Flatpak package on Flathub, Arch Linux (AUR), Fedora/openSUSE packages, or building from source. Installation instructions for the PulseAudio version are kept in a separate file.
