Apply easy effects output between 2 nodes instead of capturing all players

[rurigk]

Currently i have this setup

I have multiple virtual outputs (null-audio-sink) to separate audio for things like OBS capture
Then those sinks are "combined" to a single sink ( also null-audio-sink) and then connected to the hardware output
What i want is to apply the effects after sinks are "combined"

In this case the way i connect the sinks are via loopbacks but i can change that if necessary

Yellow are apps
Blue are virtual outputs
Red are where i want to put the easy effects pipeline (one or another not both points)

It is doable with some effort. First disable Process all input/output streams in easyeffects preferences window so you can manually manage which streams get effects. After that you will have to make sure your loopback device plays to easyeffects virtual sink.

The next part is making easyeffects output go to your virtual node. Either manually select this sink as output device in easyeffects PipeWire tab or make your virtual sink the default system output device.

Disabling Process all input is needed?

As im very happy how this part is working o is a limitation of how easyeffects work

There is no need to disable process all input streams if you do not want to do that customization also to the microphone pipeline.
