In amarok in equalizer changing position of the first slider doesn't change the sound. I believe it should be pre-amplifier, but taking in consideration this bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=280318 it is not clear. When I used xine-backend for phonon (with I don't know why is unmaintained) I didn't had this problem. Also in other backends for phonon there no such problem, because there's no equalizer at all... That's why I believe the gstreamer-backend is to blame. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run amarok 2. Play some file 3. Open equalizer 4. Change position of first slider. No change in sound should be noticed.
The GStreamer equalizer actually does not have a preamp. Amarok shouldn't be displaying one as phonon-gstreamer does not report the existance of one. Reassigning.
If GStreamer does not have a preamp, so how it works in Clementine? It uses gstreamer and it has good working preamp.
Correct component.

Closing for lack of feedback.
Oh, I can confirm and reproduce this bug, reopening. The problem is interface between EngineController and Equalizer, which is so silly that it cannot communicate non-presence of the preamp, also the Equalizer GUI must be adapted to be able to disable gray-out preamp. Shouldn't be hard to do, marking as JJ.
how should I check which Effect Parameter is supported by phonon or should I just hard code it for preamp ?
Can I assume that if at all preamp is present then it will the first element of Effect Parameter list ??
(In reply to comment #8) > Can I assume that if at all preamp is present then it will the first element > of Effect Parameter list ?? Yes, in the first version of the patch.
Created attachment 77354 [details] Equalizer snapshot Is this the desired output ? ( Preamp is disabled in the image though the effect is not porperly visible ) Additional Change : Fixed top and bottom labels of first slider. Earlier band name label was at the top and slider value label was at the bottom for first slider ( assuming it was a bug ).

Now it's time for http://reviewboard.kde.org/ - please do attach the screenshot there too.
