Speaking of that audio output, I suspect the reason that's working is because USB-C and TB3 cables have pins within the connector dedicated to USB 2.0 data, so it's possible that the audio controller built into the display interfaces over USB 2.0 rather than Thunderbolt 3. But even with that adapter you still won't have a USB data path to the display, which means you wouldn't be able to use any USB ports built into the display or the audio output that's working for you right now. So you'll have two cables running between the adapter and your display, but still only one thing to plug into your laptop - and then you'll have video and power. If the display is Thunderbolt 3 but you want to be able to draw power from it, this adapter will allow you to connect a DisplayPort cable between the adapter and display for video, and then you can connect the TB3 cable from the display into that adapter's power passthrough port for power. Wanted to build on my previous reply a bit to offer a somewhat better solution if you do in fact have a Thunderbolt 3 display and provide a bit of clarification.
