1000ms indeed worked as well.

The monitor supports the audio. There is 3.5mm audio out jack. No 
inbuilt speakers, although Samsung did sell a sound bar to suit it. The 
sound bar, which I do not own, presumably attaches via 3.5mm jack.

I am not sure if by plugging, you mean hot-adding Thunderbolt GPU or 
plugging the monitor to the GPU, so I have covered extra cases to be 
sure. I have taken the eld# files with the 1000ms patch applied, so the 
error is not triggered.

####
Before hot-adding the Thunderbolt GPU:
/proc/asound/card1 not present
####
####
After hot-adding the GPU with no monitor attached:

/proc/asound/card1 contains:
eld#0.0  eld#0.1  eld#0.2  eld#0.3  eld#0.4  eld#0.5

All of the above have the same contents:

monitor_present         0
eld_valid               0
####
####
Monitor attached to Fiji GPU but not enabled:

Same as above
####
####
Monitor enabled:

All files with same contents except for eld#0.1 which looks like:

monitor_present         1
eld_valid               1
monitor_name            U32E850
connection_type         DisplayPort
eld_version             [0x2] CEA-861D or below
edid_version            [0x3] CEA-861-B, C or D
manufacture_id          0x2d4c
product_id              0xce3
port_id                 0x0
support_hdcp            0
support_ai              0
audio_sync_delay        0
speakers                [0x1] FL/FR
sad_count               1
sad0_coding_type        [0x1] LPCM
sad0_channels           2
sad0_rates              [0xe0] 32000 44100 48000

Cheers.
