    DVI is only Video if it were HDMI-HDMI yes get a sound card instead, should only cost £30 something like a creative SB or if you want to spend a bit more get a Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer for £60 GL

Well, you actually ccan get audio through the HDMI on this video card because its a newer card. Dont let the other answers confuse you. You need an audio loop cable aka internal s/pdif cable. It has a 2 pin connector on both sides. It should have been supplied with your graphics card. Plug one end into the card. For the motherboard side I am not sure so I looked at an asus mobo manual. I looked at the P5E3 Premium but yours is probably similar. The motherboard s/pdif on that board is shown as 1 pin, a blank spot, and then 2 more pins to make a 4 pin wide connection. The "lonely" pin is for 5v and I doubt you will need that for s/pdif so just plug it into the last 2 pins and it should work.

No, DVI to HDMI provides ONLY video, and no audio. You will need a new source for audio.

DVI to HDMI will not carry audio signal DVI is a video only transmittion.

DVI doesnt have sound, so no. You'll need to use your sound card, or plug to receiver.
