DVI cable carries video signal only. You need audio cables.

actually it depends on the video card...some video cards send the audio through the dvi knowing that it'll only work with a dvi to hdmi adaptor

the majority of Radeon HD 2000/3000 series graphics cards features dual-link DVI output with HDCP, and provides a specially designed DVI-to-HDMI dongle for HDMI output that carries both audio and video.

The DVI cable does not carry audio. What you have in that link is a sepcial adapter that converts DVI video and audio to HDMI. You still need an HDMI cable to carry both video and audio.
