Two considerations: Displayport doesn’t support audio, and there is no connector on the planet more frustrating and unreliable than DisplayPort. It’s like a joke how sensitive it is to the lightest bump. HDMI just works.

DisplayPort absolutely does support audio DisplayPort supports a wide range of audio formats, including multi-channel audio like 7.1 surround sound, ensuring compatibility with various multimedia applications and delivering a robust audio experience directly aligned with the video output. www.anker.com/…/do-display-ports-support-audio

You seem knowledgeable, Mr. Vandelay. Perhaps you deal with imports and exports… if so on the topic of audio on DisplayPort, are you aware of any Receivers that will split the signal to send audio to speakers and video to your projector or monitor (TV but there are few)? Serious question about the receiver if you do know of any - it’s come up in the last week while seeing the Valve HDMI news on Lemmy. I found some projectors that have DP, but no receivers and hoping someone here can!

I know that there are some complicated configurations that you could use to get the audio feed from display port to your receiver, like running it through a splitter that will strip out the audio and send it to your receiver separately. I’m pretty sure there are no mainstream AV receivers that will do what you want because the market is split between home theatre and PC, as mentioned elsewhere in this thread, and manufacturers need to be convinced there’s a market for it. In that situation, I would connect the output device, in this case a PC, directly to the TV/monitor with DP, and run optical audio from either the TV or the output device to receiver. You lose some of the integrated control that HDMI-CEC gives you, so get a good universal remote that can adapt to this set up and get one-button source switching back.
