IPAD PRO WITH USB-C DAC

Hi, I bought ipad pro 12.9 and found that when I plug in an external usb-c dac, the headphones don't work. Is there any way to fix this or does the device not support external usb-c dac?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

Has your external DAC been certified by its manufacturer to be compatible with Apple devices - or more specifically, iPad and iPadOS? If your DAC requires installation of a device driver, you’ll need a manufacturer-supplied App to install the required driver software.

Your iPad certainly supports external DACs, as Apple’s own USB-C to 3.5mm Headphone Adapter incorporates a DAC.
