USB-C headphones not working despite being listed as audio device

I have a laptop with a USB-C port to which I connected my USB-C earphones (earbuds from Google, not the Bluetooth ones). The device is correctly listed in the audio output channels, but selecting them doesn't affect the audio system, which continues to output from the laptop speakers.
As you can see from the screenshot above, I selected the device, but when I press "Test Speakers" the audio keeps coming from the Laptop Speakers.
I tried pavucontrol and the USB-C device is not listed there. See screenshot below
If I use the command line utility speaker-test, I am able to force the audio through the earphones. Specifically this command works perfectly.
speaker-test -D plughw:earbuds -c 2
Any suggestion on how to route the system audio through the earphones?
System data:
- Ubuntu 18.10
- Laptop: Huawei Matebook X Pro
- Earphones: Google Earbuds (HW ID 18d1:5033)

Yes, as shared in the first screenshot the device is selected bu the output is still from the laptop speakers. Tried Pavucontrol and Alsamixer as well. The other solution (editing /etc/asound.conf) is not plug & play
