Windows 10: No sound through DisplayPort

Hello.I have recently completed a clean install of Windows. I have a monitor with speakers ASUS VG27AQ and since doing a clean install, sound does not work via DisplayPort, but does work via HDMI.I have done a lot of the normal checks like sound level, setting the device as default, uninstalling and re-installing sound drivers etc. with no luck.Any help appreciated!SYSTEM SPECS:MBO - GIGABYTE GA-AB350M-HD3CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 2600GPU - Radeon RX 580OS - BUILD: 19042.985 - WINDOWS 10 PRO; ALL DRIVERS ARE UP TO DATE.

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue

 

Windows 10: No sound with DisplayPort

I changed the audio quality to 24 Bit (Studio-Quality), Sound is ok!

Switching back to 16 Bit: No sound (like before).

Set to 24 Bit again: Sound perfect!

Reboot: Sound is still good.

(Surface pro 3, Win10, LG Ultra-Wide, Displayport to Displayport, all up to date).

Sounds strange, but this worked for me, hope this helps others too.

Regards,

Ulf

 

Sound Quality

One thing that sticks out from looking at your "My Computer" specs. You list "ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)" which suggests you do not have the correct sound hardware driver. Your motherboard has Realtek sound and the first step is to install the Realtek sound drivers. My ASUS also came with Sonic Studio 2 which is a sound enhancement package. Check the ASUS install disc to see if you have something similar.

May not be a speaker problem.
