I forgot to specify: as today, the workaround of the mentioned topic is no more needed.

Sorry, but I'm lost:
- don't know if this is the right place.
- don't want to necro-post (is it actually necro-posting from 2020 discussion?).
Here's the original post: [WORKAROUND] No sounds output via DisplayPort, but pulseaudio works
My issue is... Solved... But I actually don't know how, neither what the solution is.
Here's my current setup (pretty standard, actually):
Computer--->DisplayPort output--->Unidirectional DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapter--->HDMI cable--->HDMI input (Input Signal Plus*)--->TV
Latest ALSA & Pipewire: alsa-lib, alsa-plugins, alsa-utils, pipewire, pipewire-alsa, pipewire-pulse
Install xf86-video-intel drivers
Use xf86-video-intel drivers:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
EndSection
Setting 4K@60 resolution:
ATTENTION: modesetting works with DP1, intel works with hyphen (ASCII code 45) DP-1
$ cvt -r 3840 2160
$ xrandr --newmode "4Kr" 533.25 3840 3888 3920 4000 2160 2163 2168 2222 +HSync -VSync
$ xrandr --addmode DP-1 4Kr
$ xrandr --output DP-1 --mode 4Kr

Press the Home button on your TV remote, and then navigate to and select Settings > General.
Select External Device Manager, and then select Input Signal Plus.
Select the HDMI port you connected your device to, and then press Select to turn the feature On.

You basically enforce a continouous audio stream. There are a few broken HDMI adapters/displays that go into too big of a suspend they can't properly wake out of. By playing "something" you keep the audio stream alive.
The "more proper" way of doing that would be to try /etc/modprobe.d/disableHDMIsilent.conf
options snd-hda-codec-hdmi enable_silent_stream=0
or so.

Hey V1del, actually the issue has been resolved "by itself": there is NO more need for the workaround, fortunately.

Ah, well then kernel updates likely fixed/added a quirk eventually.
