[JP] We did solve it.  I am sorry I did not post the solution earlier.  The problem was that the video BIOS was not executing the initialization routines on a guest VM reboot.  Consequently, the guest would reboot without any of the HD graphics registers being re-initialized as they would on a cold boot.  The solution was to extract the video BIOS from the boot ROM and re-execute the image after the FLR.

> [2] It seems that you in your original email imply that Linux GFX driver i915 is used in WIN10 too? Or Linux is actually host, and WIN10 is a VM on the top of some (which one?) HYP type 2? Or maybe, HYP is type 1? Really, what is the true OS configuration stack in your case???

[JP] Sorry.  Here is the stack: Win10 guest running Intel HD graphics Gen8 driver for video and audio on top of type 1 Hypervisor. 

I am looking at the i915 drm driver for insipiration as well as the VBT data.  So far, I am not seeing anything in the VBT that describes the audio capabilities of the DisplayPort connected monitor.  This is all very puzzling.
