    Try using a blank screen saver rather than having it turn the monitor off…

    While listening to amazon music, Acer CB272K UM.HBAA.010, screen turned off after 5 minutes, per windows screen and sleep power setting. When screen turned off, audio through external wired speaker ended. Sound did not pass through monitor to connected external speaker. Sound came out of USB-C connected MSI Summit laptop. Is there a setting which will allow audio to pass through monitor in standby mode?

    Worked Thanks. I never considered, when using DP Alt Mode, a video signal is necessary to carry the audio. Wonder if an audio pass through will ever be developed or implemented by a display manufacturer?

    Anyway, I'm really diggin this display! Perfect personal productivity product for my purposes. Didn't need photo color accuracy certification or USB hub or speakers or webcam. But wanted a USB-C 27" 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) with this pixel pitch and density. Super clean look from behind for a professional looking desk. Great Stand, not a clean cord look. Brightness not an issue in my room. Don't bother with the Acer Display Widget. Occasionally Acer does not wake up when I wake up laptop. Out of the box colors look great. A second user preset for complete darkroom would be nice.
