EasyEffects is the open-source application formerly known as PulseEffects that transitioned to using native PipeWire filters for providing simple audio effects on the Linux desktop. EasyEffects makes it easy to apply different audio effects like bass enhancer, compressor, pitch shift, reverberation, and many more. With this week's release of EasyEffects 8.0, the user interface has been rewritten in Qt / QML / Kirigami rather than GTK4.

This audio effects desktop manager is now aligned with the Qt, QML, and KDE/Kirigami frameworks rather than relying on the GTK4 toolkit.

EasyEffects 8.0 also brings built-in tray icon and menu support, the UI is friendlier to small screens, preset improvements, various effect enhancements, and a avariety of other enhancements. The project's CHANGELOG file outlines the many EasyEffects 8.0 changes.

For those not having used EasyEffects or not in a while, here is how their former GTK4 user interface appeared:
