Does apple 27 Thunderbolt display work with ASUS P8Z77-V PRO/THUNDERBOLT

Hi,

I'm considering building a new box with ASUS P8Z77-V PRO/THUNDERBOLT motherboard that includes a generic Intel graphics sub system which supports a max resolution 2560 x 1600 @ 60 Hz. I would love to connect a 27 inch Apple Thunderbolt display to it. Any one have any experience with this setup ? I'm not sure how to setup the two speakers. Will they be automatically supported through some type of Thunderbolt daisy chain interface ???

Many Thanks

I installed the bootcamp drivers but it does not show the speakers in pref to select them.

The bootcamp drivers are not required for display audio as it's standard USB sound simply connected to your PC via PCIe (aka Thunderbolt.) Maybe your display audio is disabled under device manager?

The display should be listed as "Display Audio." Do you have any other devices hooked-up to the display that are USB? (e.g. mouse)

No that does not come up. USB ports dont work on the back either.

Yes my primary display only. I'm reinstall drivers now.

The usb ports do work with my macbook air so I know they work.

Maybe something in the bios?

I didn't adjust any of the TB settings in the BIOS. Maybe check to see if you have IGD as the "Initiate Graphic Adapter?"

That's good to hear. I've given up on the PC TB-ACD setup as the Virtu software appears to not be completely baked--a lot of hitching/microstuddering for highend 3D games (i.e. BF3.)
