Samsung C34F791 audio issues

[Lyno]

I've been a long-time LTT subscriber, but this is the first time I'm posting on the site, so "Hi!"

 

I recently picked up the Samsung C34F791 UWQDH monitor and I'm absolutely loving the display! But I'm having issues with the audio when I enable FreeSync.

 

The audio works fine from a cold boot of the PC and monitor, but as soon as I go into a fullscreen, 3D game the audio will stop working and the only way to get it back is if I power-cycle the monitor.

 

When I have FreeSync disabled either within the AMD Radeon settings, or the monitor's OSD the audio works fine.

I have the monitor connected to an MSI R9 290.

 

Does anyone else have this monitor and have this issue or know how to resolve it?

 

The computer specs are as follows:

 

CPU: Intel Core-i3 6320 3.9GHz

MB: MSI Z170A Krait Gaming

RAM: 16GB DDR4 2133MHz Hypertec

GPU: MSI R9 290 4GB

PSU: Corsair VS450
