When I started to employ my 3B RPi using some leftover parts, I had a
VGA monitor and USB kb & mouse, so I needed an HDMI to VGA adapter.
There were places that had adapters w/ a 3.5mm for audio, but I opted
for an adapter w/o audio plug outlet in favor of just using the RPi's
audio outs for some little 'computer speakers'.

But, I'm puzzled about the analog vs digital.  I would assume that the
HDMI audio is digital, but the 3.5mm plug sounds/looks like an analog
audio outlet.

But, I'm sure those HDMI to VGA adapters w/ audio plug aren't converting
digital to analog audio.  What is the answer to my confusion?
