You are right, I did not switch to the master branch. The fix is on master and I tested the daily ubuntu mainline kernel.
% uname -a ✔ 180 13:46:26 Linux ThinkPad-X220 4.19.0-999-lowlatency #201810312202 SMP PREEMPT Thu Nov 1 02:11:24 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
That fixes the problem and I could drop the pulseaudio configuration also.
Currently happily listening to Berlin Philharmonic String Quintet: A.Dvorák - String Quintet Op.77: I Allegro con fuoco – Più mosso 8-)
I updated the lauchpad bug (hopefully did the right things there).
Thanks a lot and sorry for the inconvenience,

It's too old :)
Linus git tree already contains more fixes, and the corresponding one is commit c369c8db15d51fa175d2ba85928f79d16af6b562

It still contains the problematic workaround. It doesn't seem to fit any longer
to the
headphones current firmware. Checking the 4.15.7 kernel (without the
quirk)
works much better. At least the device is shown in the mixer and fixing
the
samplerate to 48kHz leads to a useful configuration. To be honest I do
not
really understand how to define a fixed table for supported sample rate without fiddling with other parameters. The HID seems to working too. At
least
I am able to use the headphone buttons to in/decrease the volume and to
stop
and restart playback. The microphone is not shown - but that does not
seem to
work on windows either - as far as I understand the orginal patch to
support
the headphones.
With the qurik in place I get no really helpful error messages ...
I hope that helps to clarify the situation,
Mutz

Could you check the latest Linus git tree (or for-linus branch of sound git tree)? The workaround for the buggy firmware was already included there. Let me know if it still doesn't suffice. thanks, Takashi
