2709W - Does it support displayport audio?

It should, please test it.

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.

3.   Support for DisplayPort audio

§  The ATI Catalyst™ 9.12 Hotfix release adds support for DisplayPort audio for DisplayPort panels

I have same question. HD5850+2709W win7  64bit ,ati cat 9.12hotfix~10.2,The "ati dp output" always display "not plugged in".

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?

I have  tried 9.12hotfix~10.2,The audio devices "ati dp output" always display "not plugged in".I will test the 10.3 Preview later..

10.3 pre, the auido driver is same as 10.2,and same problem.

It's the same for me as well.  It shows up as ATI DP output, but says "not plugged in"

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:

Hello,

Any clue ?

Thank you very much !

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.
