As far as I can see, the only difference is the softvol plugin, and that
should not make any difference for the equal plugin.
Anyway, try reversing the order of the two plugins:
pcm.plugequal {
type softvol
slave.pcm {
type equal
slave.pcm "plug:dmix"
}
control.name "PCM Playback Volume"
control.card 1
}

Thanks for your help so far.
I understand that I have to have two instances of alsamixer in parallel.
But the new problem is that with the .asoundrc file I have previously
submitted, when I do:
alsamixer -D equal
I do have a CLI interface with which I can change the settings of the
equalizer, but the new settings do not actually influence the sound played
anymore. On the other hand, I have now a volume control that works.
I think that there's still something wrong in my .asoundrc file :-(

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.

First of all, thanks for your reply.
I have applied the suggestions given, but I have a partially working
volume control. That is to say, that the volume control works but without
equalizer control. My asoundrc now looks like this:
defaults.pcm.!card 1
defaults.pcm.!device 7
defaults.ctl.!card 1
ctl.equal {
type equal;
}
pcm.plugequal {
type equal;
slave.pcm {
type softvol
slave.pcm "plug:dmix"
control.name "PCM Playback Volume"
control.card 1
}
}
pcm.equal {
type plug;
slave.pcm plugequal;
}
With this configuration I can control the volume of my PC but without the
possibility of changing settings of the equalizer. It seems that I can
have either volume control or equalizer control. But I would like both of
them, of course. Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

Then I guess the default configuration for your card already uses the
softvol plugin. This means that to keep the softvol functionality, you
have to refer to the "default" device (which is not possible if you're
redefining it), or insert it yourself:
pcm.plugequal {
type equal
slave.pcm {
type softvol
slave.pcm "plug:dmix"
control {
name "PCM Playback Volume"
card 1# must be same card number
}
}
}
