Could it be possible to use a usb-c aux adapter for my UNO with a C type port?

I'll keep it plain and simple. Im a beginner to arduino, and want to know if i could use something like this:

with my arduino? It seems unplausable, but i decided that it was worth a try. Hard to find anything on google, so i signed up for this to ask.

What kind of connector is on your Arduino?

You linked a USB C type cable. There are Arduino boards that use USB C but older types are more common.

What are you hoping to do with that odd cable?

Yes it is totally not a plausible thing to expect to work. The Arduino only has a USB type 1 connector and that looks like a serial port to the host computer. There is no Audio capability with the type of USB connection the Arduino has.

What possible purpose would this serve?
Do you want to create audio output from or input to your Arduino?

Its a c-type plug, so i just had to check if i could possibly use it to play audio for say when a button is pressed. I can probably just buy something on amazon that would work the exact same

Check out speaker and buzzer projects for arduino.

Two things wrong with this idea.

One is that Arduinos are only "devices", not USB "hosts". This cable expects to plug into a USB "OTG" port on a phone which functions as a host and I know of no Arduino which does. There are "host shields" with limited ability to act as a host, but not OTG.

Second is that your "Arduino" is probably a basic UNO or (preferably) Nano or similar. While there is an "Audio" forum here which I do not choose to look at, serious ("hi-fi") audio applications are way beyond the capability of most Arduinos without extensive support modules. Mobile phones OTOH have serious computing power.
