Electronic device and method for recognizing audio output device connected to USB type-C connector

An electronic device includes a universal serial bus (USB) port configured to be wiredly attached to an external audio device, a processor operatively connected to the USB port, and a memory operatively connected to the processor. The memory stores a media application to play audio data, and stores instructions that when executed, cause the processor to play the audio data through the media application, sense an event associated with detachment from the external audio device while the audio data is being played, pause playing the audio data, in response to that the event is sensed, identify whether a device the same as the external audio device is attached within a specified time after the event is sensed, and play the audio data, which is paused, through the media application, when the device the same as the external audio device is attached within the specified time.
