I recently migrated my Roon Core from Windows to Linux. So far everything is working properly, but I don’t know how I can use my convolution filters. In the Windows GUI, I can load a convolution file on the core, which can then be remotely activated or deactivated with the remote apps (iOS and Android).
Is anyone using convolution filters with Linux? If so, how do you install them?

Hi @Nicholas_Seltzer, it’s me again. I use convolution filters for headphone listening. This is the knowledge base page: https://kb.roonlabs.com/DSP_Engine:_Convolution which you may or may not have seen. The usual process is to upload them from a Roon remote client running on a PC or Mac, it’s not possible from the Android or iOS remote clients. Once they’re loaded you can select them for use with particular endpoints. How are you trying to do this and what’s going wrong?
Hi @Nicholas_Seltzer, I don’t but I virtually know a man who does. This gives me a chance to give a mention to my favourite thread on this site:
It’s worth working through and the results have been good across 4 pairs of headphones and counting. I never listen to headphones without and would recommend experimenting with a little crossfeed also. Feel free to ask questions.
Thanks for the link. I tried plugging in some parametric EQ values for my HD 800S. Not bad. Sounds about like what I’d expect to produce on my own with an EARS rig or equivalent.
I tried using the wav files of the GitHub page mentioned above for my Sennheiser PXC550II but I get a message (translated from Dutch) that the audio file can not be analysed. I tried with both files in a zip file and with each wav file on itself.
Hi @Joost_Hooglandif do check out this post to make sure you’re not downloading the HTML files rather than the WAVs: Headphone settings for parametric and convolution equalizer. If that doesn’t work if you post the link to the set of files you’re using on GitHub I’ll give it a go here and see if I can replicate the problem?
The problem is that the GitHub interface isn’t intuitive. I’ve been an almost daily git and GH user for more than 10 years. Seen lots of professionals make the same mistake (including me), hence the post.
