I recently got a new monitor along with speakers, but I realized too late that the monitor requires a 3.5mm audio jack, while my speakers use a USB A connection. I'm looking for a way to adapt this setup, specifically if there are any USB A to 3.5mm adapters that actually work for speakers. Most options I found online tend to have low ratings or seem to be designed specifically for car use. I'm okay with lower audio quality as long as I can get something functional. Just for context, I'm using the monitor with my PS4, and sometimes I'd like to switch between using my keyboard and mouse, but I can only connect two devices to the PS4. I was hoping there might be a way to connect the speakers through the monitor instead. Any suggestions?

You might find some options on Amazon, but I’m a bit lost on the setup. Are your speakers USB-powered? It sounds like a desktop scenario. Why not connect the speakers directly to your PS4 instead? That could be easier than trying to adapt the signal from the monitor.
I realize I didn't explain fully! I usually use a PS4 and picked this monitor specifically for gaming. The issue is that I want to connect both my keyboard and mouse, but the PS4 has limited ports. I figured connecting the speakers to the monitor might free up a port, but I can’t seem to find the right adapter.
