OK, then the problem is only about this unit and about the master
channel.

This should be persistent and visible; try to run "amixer -c1" (or the
different card index for the device).

So far, so good.  The only remaining piece is how this -EPIPE error
comes up.  Is this a protocol stall error or such?  Would it be
avoided by adding the delay like done for some devices?

With the 5.15-rc kernel, you can pass quirk_flags option to
snd-usb-audio module for applying known quirks.
e.g. quirk_flags=0x100 will set the 1msec delay at each control
message.  Please check whether it makes any difference.
The option is an integer array for multiple devices, so if you have
multiple USB-audio devices, put at the appropriate position in the
array (e.g. quirk_flags=,,0x100 for the 3rd slot).

The quirk bit 0x4000 will shut up the control errors.  If the above
doesn't fix the warning and the device is working more or less, set
this quirk to shut up the warning.  It can be set statically in the
table at the end in sound/usb/quirks.c.
