HDMI to DVI audio problem

HDMI to DVI audio problem

I have a Samsung T220HD LCD with integrated speakers. When I connect it to my video card via VGA cable, the speakers works fine. But, I recently bought an DVI to HDMI cable, (my video card has dvi outputs too). When I connect the HDMI to DVI cable, the speakers don't work. I used to connect my monitor speakers to the audio card via one jack cable. But I repeat, this works only on VGA. I tried also an jack wich finishes in two analog cables. I connected the jack to my sound card, and the analog inputs (Left and Right) to my monitor audio-in. Still no sound.

"especially if you have a recent ATI gfx card (>HD3000) the chip got it's own audio device to be able to provide audio (you should see a 2nd audio device). This integrated only works with the DVI to HDMI adapter provided with the card since it seems to include some logic. Standard DVI to HDMI cables don't support audio.
As said above: Either make sure you use the standard audio or use the ATI dongle and the integrated audio in this (ATI) case."
