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

I bought nice solid braided one on AliExpress for like $2
But is it? Is this even a USB standard or just something some vendors do sometimes?
Standard, phones from different manufacturers can use a passive dongle.
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.
You need to google your phone model and “usb-c audio adapter” for instance
