I'm confused. I connected my IPOD classic to the usb C port (thunderbolt 3) on my 2021 IMAC. using a 3.5mm to USB C adapter cable\.
Using settings>sound, Set my input to "USB PnP audio device"
Set output to either "IMac speakers" or "External Headphone"
when i play from the IPOD classic (or any other device with a 3.5mm jack), I see the sound inputting on the "input " but NOTHING on the output to the headphones. or IMac speakers.
Am i to assume that the thunderbolt 3 port does not entirely support regular USB functions?
do I need an external DAC to accomplish this? or what?
