That device, the speaker in this case, is missing the pull-down (Rd) resistors on CC1 and CC2 to say that it's happy to get 5v@500ma when connected using a USB-C to USB-C cable. Those resistors aren't needed for signaling when using a USB-C to USB-A cable, which is why that works.

So they saved a fraction of a cent per unit on two resistors?
