Very good tip. Unfortunately, it is not yet offered in Germany or Europe.

That's mono audio input, correct?

So, basically like the good 'ol headphone/mic jack on the good 'ol iPads.

You did not understand what The Krazy Wabbit is telling in his video. This USB-C hub behaves like a audio interface when connected to the iPad, that is a game changer.

The iRig 2 used in the video works as a 'headset' and thus this works with all 'dongles' that have a 3.5mm jack or even using the Apple USB-C -> 3.5mm jack connected to a USB-C port on the hub.

I didn't know that, so it has nothing to do with the USB-C hub itself?

So basically, nothing.

A little usb-card and you have input and output with any usb-c hub

Well, looking at the replies in this topic. What is so 'game changer' about this?

Bingo!
If the device has a built-in 3.5mm jack it will use the usb-devices name and/or in some cases only show 'headset' depending on how the firmware in the dongle is configured.

I'm using the older version of this.
https://www.linqconnects.com/products/pro-usb-c-10gbps-multiport-hub-with-4k-hdmi-and-card-reader

When I connect the Apple USB-C to 3.5mm dongle to it shows up as USB-C 3.5mm adaptor on the iPad.

If a hub advertises 3.5mm headset connector it will be able to record.
There are some 'output only' USB devices and those will not support headsets.

Only buying it if it has floppy slot.

If you plug an hdmi monitor in does the hdmi override the 3.5 mm for audio output?

For now that is default iPadOS behavior with any dongle, supposedly iPadOS17 will remedy this.
The way to work around this is to plug-in the 3.5mm dongle after connecting the hdmi monitor.
(Or simply unplug and re-plug after connecting the monitor).

Cool. Thanks for the clarity. Makes this kind of USB connection workable at least.
