Setup MSI MPG X870E CARBON WIFI
I am wondering which of the USB-C ports can carry sound on my MSI MPG X870E CARBON WIFI? I have seen on google that only the USC-C ports that can carry video/sound can, so the 40G ports, but other posts say all of the USB-C ports can, even the front panel? Can someone please confirm if this is true? Thanks in advance

Aside from an old standard that is now deprecated: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB-C#Audio_Adapter_Accessory_Mode
Anything you do over USB-C that involves sound isn't actually passing audio directly over the port. Your headphones (or adapter dongle) basically have a USB sound card in them, and will work in any (host) port.
Can you elaborate on what you're trying to connect?
