Disable DisplayPort audio
By default, the DisplayPort audio is disabled on Wyse 3040 thin client from this release onwards. This is the factory default
setting. You can enable the audio by using the GUI option or the INI parameter.
If you upgrade ThinOS version from 8.5 to 8.6, the DP audio is not disabled by default. This is because the DP audio is enabled
by default on thin client running ThinOS version 8.5. You must reset the thin client running ThinOS version 8.6 to factory default
settings to load the default setting.
However, thin clients shipped with the latest version of ThinOS are already configured with the default settings.
Table 123. Known issue
Issue number Description Workaround
TIR94278
On Wyse 3040 thin client, if you set the display
resolution higher than 1920 X 1080, and enable
the DisplayPort audio, a black screen is
displayed for 10 seconds after the system
reboot.
Do not enable the DisplayPort audio.
Report locally attached devices to Wyse Device Manager
This feature reports locally attached devices such as monitor and USB device to the Wyse Device Manager (WDM) server. This
information is displayed in the device detail section on the WDM console.
Limitation—ThinOS supports more than 20 USB devices through the USB hub. However, WDM server shows only 10 devices.
Vertical Synchronization
Vertical Synchronization or V-Sync enables the ThinOS client to synchronize the frame rate of a video with the monitor refresh
rate to avoid screen tearing. Screen tearing occurs when the graphic processor delivers display frames more than your monitor
can process. As a result, the image appears to be cut in half. Enabling VSync synchronizes the output video of the graphics card
to the refresh rate of the monitor. In ThinOS version 8.6, V-Sync is enabled by default.

Limitation—The ThinOS local client desktop background flashes for a second when RDP session desktop is connected with
H.264-AVC444 enabled.
PCoIP connections using Teradici Remote Workstation card
In ThinOS version 8.6, you can directly configure the PCoIP connection after you connect either the TERA2240 Remote
Workstation card or TERA2220 Remote Workstation card. This feature only works with the direct PCoIP connection, and does
not work when you connect using the Horizon View broker.
