Sound crashes using GTX 970 GPU and speakers on ASUS pb287q

[Max]

So I am using Ubuntu 14.04, fresh install with the 4.2 kernel. I have a GeForce GTX 970 GPU and an Asus PB287q 4k monitor. The monitor has built in speakers. The sound should play just fine through the monitors built in speakers. I have the monitor connected to the GPU via a display port cable. Visually, everything works, but the sound either doesn't work at all, or it crashes after I pause something playing sound. I have tried killing pulseaudio, reinstalling pulseaudio, almost everything you could think of with pulseaudio but no avail. The sound plays just fine through a USB headset but not the displayport so I think it is a graphics driver problem. Everything works flawlessly on Windows.

Also I can sometimes get the sound working again after logging out and logging back in
