If you're looking for system wide equalization using Alsa then I don't know
of an answer.

If you're looking to play a CD or mp3 then look for an app with an
equalizer built in.

If you want system wide equalization then you'll want to investigate Jack.
Start with QJackCtl and build your audio path using whatever plugins
(equalizers, compressors, sprectrum analyzers, etc.) you are interested in.

I run Jack full time on my laptop using a Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen which is
somewhat like your USB device. I do not require any system wide
equalization on my system though.

HTH,
