Bug#838223: DisplayPort audio not audible after screen sleeps
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.7+7
Severity: important
The workstation has an NVIDIA K2200 connected to a Benq display with
built-in speakers. Connection is from the DisplayPort socket on the GPU
to the mini-DisplayPort on the monitor.
It is a GNOME 3 desktop
Looking in the sound preferences, it shows up as "HDMI / DisplayPort 3 -
HDA NVidia"
After booting up, audio works fine through this device.
After locking the screen and unlocking it, nothing can be heard.
Stopping and starting the sound application doesn't make any difference.
The device is still visible in the Sound settings control panel.
Clicking to "Test Speakers" there, it pauses while it tries to make a
sound, but nothing is heard.
Unplugging the cable from the monitor and attaching it again gets it
working again.
The NVIDIA proprietary driver is in use, version 352.41
