Always depends on the TV but I have seen the audio input linked to a a specific HDMI socket (Often HDMI 1 But sometimes 2). On a few older tellys I also saw it set for VGA only. If the socket says PC/DVI there should be a corresponding HDMI socket with DVI written next to it.
Its also possible that the audio is being passed through the hdmi (Will switch when the cable is connected if set to) but the additional audio cable is muting the HDMI input and obviously will have no audio of its own because the mixer will be set on the pc to only allow audio through the HDMI.
Do the speakers still work without the passthrough cable once the HDMI is connected?
