Hi
I recently updated my computer with a Asus z97a motherboard and a i7-5775C processor with a Iris Pro 6200 GPU. That's the only GPU I have in the computer. Now the monitor that I use comes with integrated loudspeakers that I would like to use and if I connect my monitor with the motherboard over HDMI I have both video and audio. That's nice. But if I try to use DisplayPort instead I get no audio. The reason I would like have DP instead of HDMI is that the former can drive the monitor at 60Hz instead of 50Hz. In Gnome Settings -> Sound the options are the same regardless of which cable I use.
Not the biggest problem in the world, but it would be nice to get some insight if this is a problem that can be solved?
Also I get video over DP only with version set to 1.1 If I in the monitor menu switch to DP 1.2 the screen will just go black.
This site, http://superuser.com/questions/229084/does-displayport-carry-sound-as-hdmi-d... suggests that display port supports audio, but the video driver has to provide the support.
