In a recent kernel upgrade, my DisplayPort audio output stoppe=
d working.
PulseAudio showed no available profiles for the device, while aplay appeare=
d to
work normally but produced no sound. I'm running Debian Unstable, and I hav=
e a
Radeon RX 470.
I have bisected (in linux-stable), and narrowed down the start of the probl=
em
to this commit:

Revert "drm/amd/display: Don't return ddc result and read_bytes in=
same
return value"
commit 5292221d6ddfed75e5b46cd42237a677094b99f3 upstream.
This reverts commit 018d82e5f02ef3583411bcaa4e00c69786f46f19.
This breaks DDC in certain cases. Revert for 4.18 and previous kernels.
For 4.19, this is fixed with the following more extensive patches:
drm/amd/display: Serialize is_dp_sink_present
drm/amd/display: Break out function to simply read aux reply
drm/amd/display: Return aux replies directly to DRM
drm/amd/display: Right shift AUX reply value sooner than later
drm/amd/display: Read AUX channel even if only status byte is returned

I have tried kernel 4.19-rc2, and, as suggested in the commit message, the
audio problem does indeed seem to be resolved in 4.19.
