Passive dongles are the only ones that actually have something to do with USB-C standard, as those allow to simply route the analog connection through the USB-C port. Active dongles are just regular USB sound cards that you can plug into a PC too and which could use a USB-A plug just as well.
- nl 4y agoThis is an active USB-C to headphone dongle designed for phones: https://www.amazon.com.au/Stereo-Adapter-Hi-res-Headphone-Compatible/dp/B07CN36QVH/r https://www.amazon.com.au/Stereo-Adapter-Hi-res-Headphone-Co... It specifically mentioned Pixel 4 compatibility. Yes, I think it might work on a PC too, but I've never tried that.

Technically, this is more or less the same thing as what you linked to, just in a different form factor. Or even this: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/5-1-Channel-USB-2-0_62203419111.html https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/5-1-Channel-USB-2-0_6... Also same thing, but likely to have a crappier DAC.
