AMDGPU pro does support 16.04 and it's still not an option for on it in
16.04.2 Gnome.

AMD Radeon 480RX Proprietary Driver Management Issue

Bug description:
I'm using Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 and have an AMD Radeon RX 480 graphics
card, driving a monitor via display port with a little speaker
connected to it via a standard analog audio cable in the back of the
monitor (which would normally be driven by audio through display
port).
This is caused by a known issue in the open source amd driver that the
kernels working to resolve, but will apparently take awhile due to
some sort of technical issues: https://askubuntu.com/questions/792156
/amdgpu-driver-wont-play-audio-over-displayport .
Now that's fine, and there's nothing you guys here can do to fix this.
However, the proprietary Ubuntu driver should be made available in the
standard proprietary driver section of Ubuntu, since the non-
proprietary driver has an incredibly difficult confusing installation
installation method for Linux beginners, and not having audio through
display port is a critical problem for certain PC configurations (like
mine), people who are making their own steam machines, etc.

Please contact me if you have any questions or want to have me test
things with my graphics card.
