Thing is my monitor doesn't have built in speakers so I connect RCA cables to this deck i have.

I bought this cable before consulting here: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/For-Xbox-360-PS3-5-Ft-HDMI-to-3-RCA-VGA-15-Pin-Converter-Cable-5Feet-1080p-Gold-/380546671966?pt=US_Video_Cables_Adapters&hash=item589a59655e

Claims it works for PS3. I need those RCA cables for sound.

Will this solution work? I checked and my monitor is HDCP compliant if that means anything.


Most monitors have a headphone jack, even the early cheap TN panels.
DVI can carry sound too, so if you have a headphone jack, just output the sound from there using a cable like this:

If you can try to avoid VGA, it's got allot of noise being an old analogue source.


I have three monitors hooked up on this computer and I don't believe a single one has a headphone jack.  

Maybe OP's does, but was just pointing out that before you spend money on getting video to your monitor, make sure you have a way of getting sound to your headphones or speakers
