USB-C Headphone Jack Adapter Not Working on 2021 iPad Pro 11" 2nd generation

My Apple USBC to 3.5mm headphone adapter will not connect either of my two high quality headphone sets. I have tried connecting headphones fast, slow and ensuring all is seated correctly. I have restarted while connected and restarted before connecting, but audio continues to come from ipad speakers and not thru headphones. I cannot find a setting anywhere about headphone connections thru usbc outlet adapter.

Thanks for reply - I just solved the problem. I was trying to connect my usbc/3.5mm adapter to the ipad thru the power usbc outlet on the attached Magic Keyboard (does not connect headphones). When I plugged the adapter directly into the ipad usbc outlet, the headphones connected individually (both pairs work now). So, apparently, the Magic Keyboard does not throughput data, just power ?
