Hi linux folks I'm considering installing linux as dual boot on a second partition and want to achieve the same audio setup I have on Windows using software to get better quality audio than defualt Windows audio

The setup is:

Audio > Vb-Audio Hifi Cable Input > Vb-Audio Hifi Cable Output > VST host with plug-ins for equalisation > Voicemeeter Virtual ASIO Input > Voicemeeter WASAPI output to headphones with equaliser apo eq on the voicemeeter output for hesuvi virtual surround sound

I have tried searching online and have only become aware of ALSA but not how to implement the setup I have above and I'd rather it not go through port audio because I heard it messes with audio quality

Check out Pipewire, which is the modern standard of linux audio

I do not have the same requirements than you, but in audio production I can route anything in any which way I need (useful for switching monitoring or sources), and I did once plug an eq to my movie player because some ripped movie was really sounding bad

There are tons of VSTs available, too

There'll be research to do, and a learning curve, but today is not the days of Jack anymore, it has become really easy if you go for a modern distro (arch, tumbleweed, fedora,...)

Have fun running your sound your way!
