Its going to depend on your TV. I have a similar setup - DVi - HDMI and no 
sound via HDMI obviously. However my TV (Panasonic) also has VGA in and an 
associated pair of RF plugs for stero input. Plugging my Audio cards into 
those provided stero sound with the HDMI input.

Alternatively you can input your sound to a external amp/stereo.
