Sounds like you want the hub with Thunderbolt 3?

If they have a USB port, you can get a cheap USB DAC

But plugging a small USB to 3.5mm audio (dac) into a hub without one will essentially give you what you need

Cheap ebay dacs can be found for under 99¢ but they don't produce very much bass oh headphones, speakers are generally okay. The only USB C device I have doesn't even support video out, so I've never looked for a USB C hub either.

 

For finding USB DACs, just search USB sound card and look for reviews.

 

Same for the USB C hubs.

 

If you're technically inclined, the output coupling capacitors in the cheap dacs just need to be changed to something around a couple μf, and it will produce bass on headphones.

 

 

Alternatively, if your monitor has an audio out based on HDMI/DP, you could use that.
