DP can carry sound same as HDMI

Almost the same... It doesn't support Audio Return Channel. In all other respects however, it works effectively the same.

Hi Guys,

Just need to confirm something.

I have the RTX2060

3 monitors

Main Monitor: DP to DP Cable

2 Side Monitors DP to HDMI Cables.

Just updated the drivers for the 2060, and the audio switched to one of the side monitors that has in-built speakers.

I was able to fix that, but I thought DP did not have any Audio channels...? So how did the sound move to a DP-HDMI connected monitor?

 

Another thing, the Main Monitor is LG 32" 144 Hz FreeSync, and is working at 144 Hz with the 2060 as it is compatible with G-Sync. If I replaced the DP-DP cable with a HDMI-HDMI cable, will it still work at 144 Hz refresh rate?
