In synaptic, choosing pavucontrol shows a long list of things it will uninstall, most k apps included. The pulse audio device chooser (padevchooser) depends on pavucontrol.
Which one to go with? The one that will provide system-wide eq, and it looks the the best bet is Pulse Audio.
I would use the VLC eq but they can't code it to remember the settings.
I used FFDshow eq in windows, worked great, never had any problems setting it up and using it.
I keep trying to get linux to do what I consider basic stuff, maybe I expect too much.
Reinstall seems the best bet now to avoid another 3 hours fighting this.
