The equalizer is only available with gstreamer, either you compiled strawberry without gstreamer, or selected VLC instead of gstreamer in the backend settings.

That was the problem! I installed the gstreamer backend and rebuilt Strawberry and now it works. Thanks a lot!

Hello everyone,
I just installed Strawberry and wanted to check out the equalizer and what settings I can perform.
However, when I go to "tools->equalizer", the "equalizer" button is greyed out, so I can not enter the eqalizer menu.

Is there anything I have to setup first before I can use the equalizer? Or do I have to set some flags when building Strawberry from source?

I do have pulseaudio-equalizer installed and can use a system wide equalizer with the qpaeq command, in case that information is useful.
