Audio tone/sine generator with frequency gauge

audio

I want to flatten frequency response of my headphones with EQ (to dramatically increase sound quality with only a bit of time), but I need tone generator for that with live manually selectable frequency gauge, so I can dynamically move it and locate peaks. EQing by playing samples of different tones is much more cumbersome and less accurate.

I need something like this: http://www.tucows.com/preview/502787/SineGen I'd love to not have to use wine.

There is a program in the standard repos called siggen that can do this.

It has a curses interface, and you can increment or decrement the frequency with the arrow keys.

Since /dev/dsp is deprecated in most modern Linux distros, you will probably need to install a compatibility library. On Debian-based distros, install the alsa-oss package and run it like this:

$ aoss siggen

or with the PulseAudio OSS Wrapper like so:

$ padsp siggen
