2709W - Does it support displayport audio?
Since ATI released new drivers that enable displayport audio, I was wondering if my monitor supports it or not.

I can't seem to get it to work.
I have HDMI and displayport plugged into my monitor atm both from my video card.
HDMI sound comes through fine but theres nothing from displayport. Is there anything special I need to set?

I cannot find any Ati documentation on how to set it up. What operating system and video card?

I am on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and an ATI Radeon 5850.
The release notes for the the latest drivers say it is supported.

I would think that for your pc\monitor combination to be capable of utilizing displayport, you must have displayport connections on both of them.
Do you?:emotion-15:

Of course, displayport cable connected.

It's not the monitor. It's the video card driver that has full control over the audio. The Display Port audio on the monitor is totally passive and dependent on the video card driver to tell it what to do. Ati will have to be notified and hopefully fix their driver. Have you both tried the 10.2s?

Hello,
Do you have any news regarding 2709W DisplayPort audio support ?
Did someone make more tests ?
It works on the U2410 / U2711 : http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/peripherals/f/3529/t/19311234.aspx
It should work with 2709W, shouldn't it ?
Chris M, do you have more infos / tests / feedbacks ?
I plan to buy this monitor, and DisplayPort audio support is mandatory for me :emotion-1:
Thank you very much :emotion-21:

In theory it should. But the DP audio is dependent on the video card driver. I cannot find one to test on.

This monitor unfortunately DOES NOT support audio through DisplayPort.
The only solution I found is a DisplayPort --> HDMI cable. With this one my computer's sound is correctly managed by the screen.
Very poor solution, I would have preferred DisplayPort only solution. But I keep this monitor because it is one of the last 1920x1200 with a screen size > 24 inches.
