    If the USB-C is wired for ground/left/right/mic then a simple $1 adapter will bring you a 3.5mm headphone jack

      99% of those adapters are garbage that break down in month or so. I am writing this on FP4 but I am also salty audio engineer and I would honestly trade my phones cameras to aux jack, just to avoid hastle.

      But is it? Is this even a USB standard or just something some vendors do sometimes?

          Honest question, how would i know whether the cheap passive adapter works on my phone?

            You could type the model of your phone and “audio adapter” or “3.5mm adapter” into a search engine. Maybe the phone already comes with an adapter.

        It’s an alt mode for USBC. But I’ve only ever seen HTC use it. Most just expect you use a dongle with a DAC, but I prefer this way because the dacs in phones aren’t always the best.
