VGA AV/DVI HDMI - with audio

So here's my conundrum. I'm not much of a cable/adapter guy. I have an older 2ms Samsung VGA/DVI monitor; I've been merely using a HDMI to DVI adapter for my setup. The monitor itself does not have audio and I have not been able to figure out any means to remedy this solution with an external set of speakers. My immediate thought is that I can get this done with a VGA to DVI adapter but would this be plausible with DVI to HDMI?

I've still got my AVs for my PS3 somewhere.

in;b4 "Buy the Asus monitor!" Yes, I'd like to, but I'm broke! :)

So what do you have available? Can the speakers accept optical / SPDIF? If so some googling reveils some hdmi -> dvi + audio cable. I think I saw one with a standard plug jack. Actually, if you can do optical just buy an optical cable and use the optical output from the PS3 directly. This is what I was doing before I got my recorder; HDMI directly to the TV, but optical cable to my receiver.
