Using DisplayPort audio

Use the DisplayPort (DP) interface to connect your thin clients to the display devices. The interface can include audio signals in the same cable as the video signals. To enable the DisplayPort audio, ensure that you set up the following components:
  • A thin client that supports DisplayPort audio and/or dual mode with audio.
  • A display device, such as monitor, that supports audio playback in ICA, RDP, Blast, or the PCoIP sessions.
  • An analog audio device or a monitor built-in speaker.
To enable the DisplayPort audio on ThinOS:
  1. Set up a monitor with DP audio support.
  2. Connect the ThinOS client to monitor using DP cable.
  3. Plug the analog headset into the monitor DP audio interface.
  4. On the ThinOS desktop, click System Setup > Peripherals > Audio > Playback devices, and select the Enable DP audio check box.
  5. Start either an RDP, ICA, PCoIP, or Blast session.
  6. Play a video, and check the audio output using the analog headset.
NOTE:
  • ThinOS supports only the DisplayPort audio playback. Audio recording using DisplayPort is not supported.
  • DisplayPort audio is supported only on Wyse 3030 LT thin client, Wyse 3040 thin client, and Wyse 5060 thin client.

Disabling DisplayPort audio

In Wyse 3040 thin client, the DP audio is enabled by default. However, in certain resolution, such as, 1920 x 1200, 2048 x 1152, 2048 x 1280, 2560 x 1080, 2560 x 1440, a black screen is displayed for 10 seconds after you restart the thin client. In such scenarios, disable the DP audio option.

To disable DP audio, do the following:
  1. On the ThinOS desktop, click System Setup > Peripherals > Audio. By default, the DP audio is enabled.
  2. Clear the Enable DP audio check box, and click Yes. If you click No, the thin client will not restart, and the DP audio is enabled.
  3. After the system restart, navigate to System Setup > Peripherals > Audio > Playback Devices, and ensure that the LPEDP audio option is not configured.
