HDMI and DisplayPort are both entirely digital standards, so in
neither case is there a conventional audio signal at the port. It's
just digital signals basically like those feeding into the sound
card/onboard-chip in the computer, so you effectively need another
sound card like device to plug in to the DisplayPort and supply
an analogue audio output.

I haven't seen such a device myself, but they probably exist. Maybe
adapters to VGA etc. with audio output built-in will be cheaper,
though they'll likely be poor quality.

Seeing as the former is digital, they're not comparable. In
practice it would depend on the quality of the sound
card/onboard-chip in your computer compared to whatever device you
plug into the DisplayPort which does the same job.
