U2723QE, have the ability to work as a hub with the UAD Apollo Twin X Interface with a MacBook?

Hello,

The title says it all! There lies the question. I tried with a USB C to USB C cable on the port at the bottom of the monitor and the left port on the back, while having selected the Dell Monitor as the audio output on my Macbook, and got no sound to come out of my studio monitors (big external studio speakers). The UAD Interface does work when directly plugged into my Macbook though with the same cable.
