Strange effects when playing music (displayport)

Post by marcellot »

I use a Dell u2410 monitor with an attached soundbar. This is supplied with power and audio directly from the monitor. The monitor is connected to the PC with a Displayport cable.
When playing music, it sounds as if it is played in slow motion.
I was able to reproduce this with VLC Player and Rhythmbox. The same effect with Zorin OS16 on the same PC.
When I play this music from my Windows PC on the same monitor, everything sounds normal (connected via HDMI).
What could be the problem?

Found a kind of solution (workaround)!
The problem arises when sound devices are connected to the PC via DP cable.
After I used an HDMI cable to connect the screen and speaker, the error is gone.
Seems to be due to the display port protocol!
