I built a new PC yesterday (my first), and everything works and turns on fine. I have installed the drivers (including latest audio driver) but no sound is coming out of my monitor. If I plug headphones into headphone jack, the sound works but i just dont know why my monitor doesnt play sound.

When i go to sound > playback devices it shows sound playing (green bars) but cannot hear it. There is no option to "enable" my monitor or even "test" it as they are greyed out so im unable to get the monitor making even the test 'beep' sound.

I have a display cable plugged from my monitor into my GPU.

Do I need to reinstall drivers or is this just a matter of tweaking some settings via sound settings? Does Display port even provide audio like HDMI or is it purely display only?

Relevant Specs:

CPU: ryzen 5 2600
MOBO: Gigabyte b450 Aorus Elite Mobo
GPU: RX 570
CASE: coolermaster masterbox lite 5 rgb


This is my monitor:
