How can I selectively control system volume by frequency range (i.e. have an equalizer)?
Yes, you can do this (on PulseAudio) with PulseEffects, available in Debian and derivatives as pulseeffects. On PipeWire, use easyeffects instead (it’s the same project).

Google assistant volume too low, why?
I've figured it out.
It's nothing to do with Alsa, rather the Google Assistant has the ability to control volume, i.e. "OK Google, turn it to 10".

Pulseaudio: How to set individual sink volume for left, right or srround channel on commandline
As noted here, pactl accepts multiple volumes (one for each channel) for set-*-volume.
