Hello. I purchased a Samsung 28" 4k LU28D590DS/ZA today. Problem I am having is sound. I am using the display port hook ups to benefit from 60hz refresh rate. I do not know how to get sound to work with this setup. I have never had sound troubles before so I am a bit baffled.

Thank You
 


AHh and this is running from the back of the monitor to where? The sound in/outs on the motherboard or ?
 


Yes.
 

It's been predicted that Displayport can cary audio, but I do not know if it actually does. I've never heard of anyone successfully doing it.

You may be right about it not having speakers. No advertisement mentions it.
 
Display port does, I have the Exact same monitor as you, and as for the issue I have tested it.

The monitor does not have any inbuilt speakers, all you can do is use the headphone out of the monitor which takes the audio from the HDMI/DP.

Display port and HDMI both carry audio for reference, I tested my display port cable and received audio through monitor headphone out.

 


So I go buy a set of Bose companion 2 speakers for 100 bucks and think I am good to go. Not cannot get them to work either. I have built computers for over 20 years but for some reason I cant hook up a few wires to get sound. laughable in my old age ha
