It's so damn annoying that the audio output is switched to DisplayPort every time I turn my monitor on, despite it not having any speakers. Audio stops working until I switch back to "internal speakers".

How can I disable DisplayPort Audio? AppleHDAEngineOutputDP, inside AppleHDA, is the bad guy that needs to be disabled somehow.

If you are using WhateverGreen, you can try adding the "-igfxnohdmi" boot argument.

That doesn't work unfortunately, I've already tried that.

How do I change "Plist options" in IOService? If I could change "HDMIDPAudioCapabilities" to False or AppleHDAEngineOutputDP to 0, seems like that would solve the issue.

I've got almost the same system with the same issue. Were you able to make the plist changes work?
 
Thanks @pastrychef. adding the "-igfxnohdmi" boot argument does work in the case of HDMI display. But display port is different than HDMI, that's why it may not have worked for the OP, but Worked for me.

Well. Switching from DisplayPort to HDMI will at least for me solve the issue without any additional boot argument.
But unfortunately its no solution for the problem. :banghead:
 
I got it working with Hammerspoon - hs.audiodevice.watcher.setCallback() :headbang:

Hi there!

Got the same issue as OP (Audio switches to DP when my computer resumes from sleep) and I was looking at your answer but couldn't figure out how you made this work. Would you mind sharing your lua script to make it work?

Thanks!
