I'm assuming you're wanting DVI+Audio from the computer to a TV with HDMI?

Just run an HDMI to DVI cable then use a 3.5mm to RCA audio cable, assuming your TV supports that configuration.

Are you just running to a TV? Or do you have an amplifier / AV receiver?

I would prefer Optical audio to 3.5mm, personally, if that's possible.

right dont know if this is right but there are two different types of dvi connections one with sound pins and one's with out

with pins will carry sound

without pins will NOT carry sound

no
DVI does not carry sound, and even if it did, the receiving DVI port does not accept sound.
You need to DVI to HDMI as video only and hook up the sound separately, minijack to stereo RCA or optical, etc
