I just bought two new monitors and im having trouble setting up audio passthrough for my games consoles.
Ive drawn a little schematic to illustrate my setup.
the images also include a little more explanation

To keep it short. I have my Nintendo Switch hooked up via HDMI to my monitor. I also have my PC hooked up to that same monitor via DisplayPort. When i want to use one or the other i would simply switch the input, but leave everything turned on, even when not directly in use.
The Switch sends its audio signal along with its image signal over the same HDMI cable. If i were to use a TV or monitor with built in speakers, the Audio would come out there. When i plug in an audio cable into the Line-Out port of the monitor, the audio *should* go out through there. That cable then plugs into the Line-In port on my PC, where i can set it to "listen" to the port and send any audio to my default audio device, ie my headphones.
The general wiring can be seen in Image1.
The path that audio originating from my PC would take can be seen in Image2.
The path that audio originating from my nintendo Switch would take can be seen in Image3.
Now the problem is that this doesnt work anymore. And i say "anymore", because this exact setup used to work with my old monitor. I got a new monitor today and tried reconfiguring everything but i cant get it to work.
Ive tried testing around myself a lot and the gist is that i can send audio out to the monitor from my PC, and then feed it back to my PC, confirming that the line-out from the monitor and the audio cable itself are both working.
trying the same with the switch however simply doesnt work.
See Image4 for some more explanation
i also tried getting the switch to play audio out of the monitor directly, by connecting my headphones to the line-out port of the monitor. But this doesnt work either.
The monitor doesnt have built-in speakers, so the Line-Out port is the only option for the monitor to play audio at all.
I also swapped my old HDMI cable for the ones that came with the monitor.
This whole setup worked fine for years with my old monitor, but i cant get it to work with my new one. And like i said, i was able to test the audio passthrough earlier, it should really not be down to "this monitor isnt compatible" or "get a refund".
