I'm soon to have a computer with a video card that outputs only thru
a "display port".
Of course I can run an extended rca mini jack from the computers sound
plug in back.
But in the long run:
There must be some way to separate the audio and video on a
"display port" output? I know they have adapters from "Display port"
to hdmi.
But having no luck googling up a tool that splits the audio signal out
of display port..
Can anyone suggest something that might help?
Also, am I wrong in thinking that the sound quality at the sound card
(a Quadro M4000 8GB) "Display port" will be superior to the sound at
the rca mini port in back?

Seeing as the former is digital, they're not comparable. In
practice it would depend on the quality of the sound
card/onboard-chip in your computer compared to whatever device you
plug into the DisplayPort which does the same job.
The DisplayPort 8ch LPCM and the HDMI 8ch LPCM, are digital
from end to end and no degradation is present. You stuff the
digital samples into the interleaved stream in the DP output.
The sound is only as good as the source.
It is when the 8ch LPCM is converted to analog with a DAC,
that the degradation occurs.

HDMI and DisplayPort are both entirely digital standards, so in
neither case is there a conventional audio signal at the port. It's
just digital signals basically like those feeding into the sound card/onboard-chip in the computer, so you effectively need another
sound card like device to plug in to the DisplayPort and supply
an analogue audio output.

I haven't seen such a device myself, but they probably exist. Maybe
adapters to VGA etc. with audio output built-in will be cheaper,
though they'll likely be poor quality.
