[DOCBUG] Wiki lists JamesDSP for Android but not for Linux

Author: mramendiCreated Aug 13, 2026Updated Aug 13, 2026

At https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq/wiki/Choosing-an-Equalizer-App , JamesDSP is listed for Android only (as JamesDSP and RootlessJamesDSP).

A version of the engine also exists for Linux, and is maintained at https://github.com/Audio4Linux/JDSP4Linux

When I tested PulseEffects (as it was then called) some years ago, I found it affected sound quality when the equalizer was on even with a fully flat "zero" setting; I retested on EasyEffects now and saw the same issue (adding an equalizer effect "tones" the sound even when completely flat). JamesDSP does not have this problem. Sadly it also does not have a parametric equalizer, though there is a workaround via ViPER-DDC.

I suggest adding "a Linux version exists" to the existing JamesDSP row
