This is affecting me I believe, but with new distros. In 14.04 LTS I had audio (and I can't remember if I had to play around with stuff to get it working), but when I upgraded to 16.04 LTS it no longer showed up.
I have a Nvidia GTX 970 and the hdmi port connected to my TV has sound, but the display port connected to my Dell U3416W monitor does not work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1175716 Title: Nvidia Displayport audio card not detected Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Up to Ubuntu 12.10 my Displayport audio output was listed in the available audio devices section of the audio settings - with the update to 13.04 it's simply gone.
