To obtain sound via a USB connection, you will need to connect a suitable adapter that incorporates a DAC. If your USB Hub does not provide an analogue (typically 3.5mm) audio connection.

As an alternative, there are many third-party USB-C DACs of varying quality - some supporting hi-res audio formats - such as the AudioQuest Dragonfly series. Here is one example:
