usb-c to headphone dongle not working

The usb-c to headphone adapter stopped working on my iPad Pro, both purchased in May of this year. My headphones work perfectly fine without the adapter on my Macbook, but once I try to use it with the adapter on my iPad it doesn’t work and instead uses the iPad’s speakers on the sides. Any help is welcome! (Please don’t tell me to just buy a new one since its only 10$,)
