The equalizer can be controlled with the control device that you have defined with "type equal", in this, case "equal": alsamixer -D equal The volume can be controlled with the control device belonging to the sound card that you specified with "control.card": alsamixer -D hw:1 # this is the default anyway For technical reasons, the softvol control can be attached only to an actual hardware device, and the equalizer controls do not belong to any hardware device, so you cannot have both at the same time. Your only choice is to run two instances of alsamixer in parallel.
