   "Hi Claes,

   Your T440p recently shipped."

   Cool!

   The DPD tracker shows it as last seen in London early last week. Probably won't be another update before it's suddenly in Hong Kong.

      @gunnar The machine itself is working well.

      I was surprised that I can't get audio through the DP->HDMI like I can on the Mac. Spacebar is having issues and I will find a local shop to replace the keyboard. The speakers sound a bit brittle and I'm careful not to play anything too loud for fear of bursting them.

      Other than that, it's doing what I hoped, being a great media station for the TV and the bed.

      I use a wireless keyboard and I run the headphone audio to the stereo, which avoids those minor issues.

      @gunnar The cable and adapter are obviously fine, as they worked with other hardware.

      The DP audio thing is either a Linux issue, the drivers in the kernel cannot make the chipset put the data there, or its a hardware issue, the chipset just doesn't do this. Linux does see an HDMI audio device, but blocks when trying to write to the buffer. I have neither the expertise nor time to solve this, and I haven't found any discussion online about it.

      My current solution treating the audio and video separately works in practice. In fact, my soundbar only has one HDMI in, so I wouldn't be able to switch between the gaming console and the computer if they both used HDMI audio.

      Your T430 has working DP->HDMI audio?
