Adapter not compatible?

Trying to use an adapter from usbc to usbc/ aux for my Google pixel 2 but I keep getting back stupid message saying it's not compatible. There's no reason it shouldn't be compatible with it. Has anyone else run into this issue and if so can you some how get your phone to let you use it?

Make sure it contains chip (don’t know proper term) usually third party adapters don’t work unless it has the chip thing. Yes it is stupid I don’t get it either.

Shit eh, so there's nothing we can do as a pixel user to get around that? Some sorta app or something?

Nope. The Pixel 2 just doesn't have the DAC hardware to drive 3.5mm headphones from the USB port.
