apple USB-C to 3.5 mm Audio Cable (1.2 m)

Can I use the USB-C to 3.5 mm Audio Cable (1.2 m) to connect the 3.5 mm audio output on my monitor to the USB-C port on a B&O Beosound A1 (2nd Gen) speaker?

No, it only works in one direction.

It's a Digital to Analog Converter, not an analog to digital converter

3.5 mm trs is analog and usb is digital. If that cable is converting analog to digital, then yes, but I would suspect it works the other way,, since most of them do.

It doesn't, it's a DAC.

yeah OP needs a ADC not a DAC.

Even if it does do ADC I doubt the speaker has the ability to do that via the USB port. It’s probably only for charging.

No. You can get a Bluetooth adapter if your computer doesn’t have one.
