I have Oppo A53. The 3.5mm jack did not work properly so I bought a USB type C to 3.5mm converter, but this is also not working with my phone which is running on Android 12.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Do you have sound without having something plugged in into the headphone jack and the usb-c socket?– RobertJul 8 at 21:40

Note that not all devices and/or converter dongles play nice. Here's an excerpt from an article by CableMatters.com to this regard:
...The biggest problem with USB-C audio is its lack of standardization, which is ironic considering USB-C’s purpose is to standardize USB connection types. The problem lies not with the USB-C specification, but with the companies that design smartphones, dongles, and headphones. Here’s why this can be such a confusing mess: (Note that the remainder of this article will only reference USB-C headphones. Keep in mind that the same principles apply to USB-C dongles as well.)
Some smartphones send audio data through an onboard DAC (usually embedded in the phone’s processor) before sending it out through the USB-C port. If this is the case, almost any pair of USB-C headphones will work. If the audio stream is converted to an analog signal before it goes through the USB-C port, then connected headphones do not need their own DAC. These are known as “passive” headphones.
However, some devices send audio data through the USB-C port as a digital signal. As such, connected headphones will need their own onboard DAC and amp to convert the audio stream from a digital format to an analog format. USB-C headphones with an onboard DAC/amp combination are known as “active” headphones...
Also note, there may be configuration-side factors to consider, e.g., the Disable USB audio routing setting in developer options (formerly known as allow USB audio pass-through, if I remember correctly). This may vary depending on your specific make, model, and Android version.
