You're not going to get audio when using a dvi output. Period. There's
no audio pins on the dvi interface. You can feed video w/a dvi to hdmi
adapter, but definitely not audio (unless you have a rather expensive
adapter that actually muxes in audio from another source -- these do
exist). DisplayPort, however, usually has audio included (or at least
can), so a dp to hdmi adapter might actually work with that card.
