The title says it's an Apple Lightning dongle. Which can only be plugged into an Apple device.

Stock photo of exact representative what i have.
But what does the connector on the source end look like, and what are you plugging it into? I can't tell if that's supposed to be a Lightning dongle or a USB-C dongle.
It is USB-C to 3,5mm jack.

Oh, okay.
I see.
Apple Lightning is a proprietary Apple connector, meaning it's only supported by Apple devices (notably, iPhones prior to version 15). You can get a Lightning to 3.5mm dongle which works very similarly to the USB-C to 3.5mm dongle on Apple devices that support Lightning.
