BackgroundMusic VS eqMac

For controlling a software defined volume like Windows has, try https://github.com/kyleneideck/BackgroundMusic

Download Background Music: LINK (free and open-source) Once downloaded, run it and you'll see it as an icon in your menu bar

Thanks for the comment. I checked out Rogue Amoeba's SoundSource, and BackgroundMusic. I think they're using some sort of virtual audio device or something to intercept applications' audio data, control each application's volume, and then send it to the speakers (or another output device).

I had an app called Background Music that I deleted a few days ago, but it still shows up as an audio output in the Sound menu bar menu as well as in Settings.

you can check BackgroundMusic : https://github.com/kyleneideck/BackgroundMusic

Tried https://github.com/kyleneideck/BackgroundMusic before. But didn't work for me.

Best alternative is eqMac

There is eqMac with 10 band eq in its free version. Its pretty good!

https://eqmac.app/ (I can't recall if / where this has a full parametric EQ)

eqMac https://eqmac.app

Very useful program, but god the UI is so bad..

As if it was designed for a touchscreen interface, and yet still poorly done, doesn't respect your aspect ratio, wastes ton of empty space, and the transition animation looks jarring

Gnome UX is killing the linux fun to me..

They want to clone the macOS UX, but they don't understand what makes it great..

Look at this beauty of an UX: https://eqmac.app/

eqMac: open-source, AUD$4.5/mth or AUD$60 outright. UI is a bit cluttered but pretty simple to use once you get the hg of it

https://eqmac.app/ has a free version

eqMAC is the one I found. I have no experience with macs but it appears to have all the audio features you're gonna want. I recommend never ever using gaming headphone software, it is rarely good.

Get some Schiit products and a volume controller. Paired with my Klipsch The Fives, it sounds like butter! Soooooooo smooth!! On my home machine, I use eqMac and that works perfectly. On my work laptop, my company won't let me install 3rd party apps. 😢 In the vid, I shut off the equalizer to compare sound differences.
