Title:
  nVidia GK106 [GeForce GTX 645 OEM][10de:11c4] No DP audio with open
  source driver

Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  CID: 201303-13031 Dell Alienware X51 R2

  There is no audio output with Display port (audio for HDMI works fine)

  A solution for this is to install the proprietary driver for this card
  (i.e. nvidia-331)

  I won't tag it with a blocker tag since it works with the proprietary
  driver.
