I have a Samsung T220HD LCD with integrated speakers. When I connect it to my video card via VGA cable, the speakers works fine. But, I recently bought an DVI to HDMI cable, (my video card has dvi outputs too). When I connect the HDMI to DVI cable, the speakers don't work. I used to connect my monitor speakers to the audio card via one jack cable. But I repeat, this works only on VGA. I tried also an jack wich finishes in two analog cables. I connected the jack to my sound card, and the analog inputs (Left and Right) to my monitor audio-in. Still no sound.
So, is there a solution to make my monitor speakers work on a DVI to HDMI connection? Thanks.

Make sure you connect the audio cable to the 'HDMI/PC/DVI-D AUDIO IN' port on the back of the TV using the weird Red/White to Single Blue connector your TV/Monitor may have come with.
Why don't you just use a DVI cable instead of a DVI to HDMI converter cable? Your TV supports DVI, and HDMI cables have the capability to contain audio, so the TV might trying to get non-existent audio out of the HDMI cable.
