[Bug 1687257] Re: AMD Radeon 480RX Proprietary Driver Management Issue

[Justin]

Thank you, that works to install steam, though installing steam via the
deb provided on steams website still doesn't work though and it's well
documented:

ubuntu-16-04-lts

Also, why not include AMD drivers by default in the proprietary driver
manager on systems its supported in (ie 16.04)? I reinstalled 16.04 to
be able to use the drivers and had to manually install them.

Title:
  AMD Radeon 480RX Proprietary Driver Management Issue

Status in Ubuntu GNOME:

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.
