Static in surround sound speakers?

Surround Sound Computer Speakers with Xbox 360?

I have logitech 5.1 surround sound speakers and a 22 inch HDMI monito. I am going to hook my Xbox 360 into this 22 inch HDMI monitor but dont want to use the two HORRIBLE speakers that are built into the monitor, I want to use my surround sound. Since I am hooking up VIA HDMI doesn't the sound travel via HDMI to the monitor? Or is there a seperate sound channel that needs to be hooked up, in which case I can just plug it into my surround sound speakers. So all in all I am asking if HDMI transfers both sound and video or just video and if it transfers both then can I hook up my surround sound?
Answer:

Yes, HDMI will carry both the sound and video. If your TV has an output, feed this to your Logitech systems. But check the cable that comes out of the xbox. Mine has a Toslink optical jack that I run straight to a spare input on my receiver. You may need to do this if your TV only has L/R outputs and not coaxial/optical for 5.1 sound. PS: I'm looking forward to the Simpsons game tomorrow.
