I can't use any filters in pulseeffects, all options are greyed out. I does however, show up in pavucontrol and volume of streams can be adjusted thru pulseeffects.

Code:
media-sound/pulseaudio-16.1::gentoo was built with the following:
USE="glib jack -bluetooth -daemon -ofono-headset" ABI_X86="32 (64) (-x32)"


Code:
media-sound/pulseeffects-4.8.7::gentoo was built with the following:
USE="bs2b calf doc rnnoise rubberband webrtc zamaudio" ABI_X86="(64)"


I use these modules for pulseaudio:

Code:
### Automatically restore the volume of streams and devices
load-module module-device-restore
load-module module-stream-restore
load-module module-card-restore

### Automatically augment property information from .desktop files
### stored in /usr/share/application
load-module module-augment-properties

### Automatically load driver modules depending on the hardware available
.ifexists module-udev-detect.so
load-module module-udev-detect
.endif

### Automatically connect sink and source if JACK server is present
.ifexists module-jackdbus-detect.so
.nofail
load-module module-jackdbus-detect
.fail
.endif

### Load several protocols
load-module module-native-protocol-unix

## If autoexit on idle is enabled we want to make sure we only quit
### when no local session needs us anymore.
.ifexists module-systemd-login.so
load-module module-systemd-login
.endif

### Enable positioned event sounds
load-module module-position-event-sounds

### Modules to allow autoloading of filters (such as echo cancellation)
### on demand. module-filter-heuristics tries to determine what filters
### make sense, and module-filter-apply does the heavy-lifting of
### loading modules and rerouting streams.
load-module module-filter-heuristics
load-module module-filter-apply

### For built in equalizer
.ifexists module-dbus-protocol.so
load-module module-dbus-protocol
.endif
load-module module-equalizer-sink sink_name=PA_EQ


### Make some devices default
set-default-sink alsa_output.pci-0000_01_00.1.hdmi-stereo
set-default-source jack_in

.nofail


thanks!

It looks like you are using PipeWire as a sound server and media-sound/pulseeffects not support that

This is the old PulseEffects version supporting plain PulseAudio server, not Pipewire. This branch is in maintenance mode and no longer under development.

So try to install media-sound/easyeffects.

If you don't have pipewire installed, don't you need to build pulseaudio with the "daemon" use flag enabled?

That's why I thought she/he had PipeWire.

This is used to force pulseaudio daemon, but in fact is not required because media-sound/pulseaudio is merely a metapackage which can be used to install pulseaudio daemon for compatibility reasons.

If USE daemon is not set on pulseaudio metapackage, media-libs/libpulse would pull pulseaudio-daemon if needed.
