Hello! I recently had to get a new phone and my new phone only uses the USB-C type headphones. Am I able to use any of the USB-C ports on my computer for audio or do I need to get a adapter dongle to convert the audio aux port to a USB-C audio port. If it's the latter, is there an adapter that is recommended? I am only finding USB-C male to Aux Audio female adapters and it would need to be the other way around.
Thanks!

I received my headphones the other day and they do work perfectly using the USB-C ports!
For my desktop computer at work I am going to try and USB-C female to USB-A male adapter and see if that works. If not I'll just continue to use my regular headphones at work but it would be nice to use the new ones since they're a higher quality.

@Smote Welcome to HP Community!
I understand that you would like to use the USB-C type headphone with Spectre X-360.
It looks like your device may not support a USB Type-C headphone, however, it should work with an HP USB-C™ to USB 3.0mm and 4.5mm Adapter, you can connect any normal headphone that uses a 3.5mm and 4.5mm barrel connectors to your USB adapter that should work.
Refer to this article for details: Click here under "Features and compatibilities of USB-C adapters".
