Precisely describes my situation. I've been anxiously following the sound issue on Linux since last year.

Nope, no affiliation with HP / other spammers, just recently discovered this page and registered today.
Also, been searching for a good linux laptop that suits my usecase (sd card, touchscreen, thunderbolt mainly) all year but all of them have some issues. XPS has the super badly positioned webcam and no USB-A, Yoga 920 has no sd card reader, zenbooks has no thunderbolt, and so on. HP's x360 had everything going for it except it has sound issues under linux, with that fixed it's imo the best choice for a linux laptop now, at least for me. Just wanted to show my appreciation for the people putting in the work on this, I honestly though this would never be fixed.

If this means it is fixed, I'll be ordering a new laptop soon

Wow... Creative seems still to be around. And I had thought they had maneuvered themselves into the abyss with their driver politics (Lin / W32 regardless).
I assume one day in the past the economy people must have taken the upper hand above the engineers there...

Adding to the growing list of kernel changes for Linux 4.18 are a great deal of sound driver/subsystem updates...
