Many, if not most, computers will not output audio through the HDMI port since video cards do not have sound capabilities. Some video cards will have the ability to jumper from the spdif connector on the PC's sound card and others don't. Your best bet will be to use a stereo audio cable from your sound card to the monitor. Hopefully your monitor has audio input connections for the HDMI port. Most do.

This is a VIDEO card ! It does NOT carry audio. It has DVI connectors . DVI carries VIDEO only. DVI DOES NOT carry audio. Even if you use adaptors for HDMI, there is NO audio coming from the DVI ports. Do as rbinck suggested and run your cables from your AUDIO card. :banghead:
