Just another data point.
I now have a D820, and previously a D800.
Neither one uses the sound through the dock, instead using the laptop sound.
I didn't work much on this because I only have a dock at work and don't do
much with sound there, and when I do, it is a relatively minor annoyance to
plug the speakers into the laptop.
