You corrected it, but yes, DisplayPort definitely carries audio. And we use that feature extensively in our conference rooms, I'll note.
Modern DisplayPort does use different signaling than HDMI, however. And that is one reason that cheap USB-C > HDMI adapters don't work well in many instances. If you watch what is actually happening with many of the cheap ones, they switch back and forth between HDMI audio and DisplayPort audio modes in a cyclical fashion. Most TVs just ignore this when it happens, but it confuses the living heck out of our matrix switchers and room control systems, and they end up stuttering or dropping audio entirely.
The nicer Apple USB-C > HDMI adapters and the Anker ones work correctly. But a bunch of the other ~$20 ones on Amazon do not (even name brands).

I'm trying to find limitations of JRiver MC for Mac that will need solutions. Is there any way to play online content or measurement apps through JRiver DSP in similar fashion to using to the WDM driver in the Windows version?
Is it possible to upgrade my recent 26-27 Windows upgrade to a Master License? I know, I should have done it then but I was not tempted by the new Macs at the time.

Using my new Mini now. Just need a master license upgrade from the Windows 27 upgrade I just bought if that's possible without having to buy the full price master upgrade.
I also would like to know: Is there any way to play online content or measurement apps through JRiver DSP on a Mac in similar fashion to using to the WDM driver in the Windows version?

A native version for the M1 is being worked?
