So I have a VG248QE Asus monitor which has a DVI connected from the computer and and HDMI connected from the PS3. I'm able to use the speakers for my pc, but when I switch to HDMI it uses the built in speakers with the monitor which sounds horrible. I was wondering how I could use the external speakers for both without replugging everything

So the audio from your PC goes to the speakers through a standard 3.5mm cable?
Option 1. If so, you must take the cable that came with the PS3 (this one: http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/77557i7824390C3306EE99/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&px=-1 ) and plug the white and red cable to an adapter like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA0ZX0T95139
Option 2. Get a standard 3.5mm male to male cable and plug the other end to the headphone output of your monitor.
After you've done this, plug the other end of the adapter to your speakers ( and go to the sound settings of your PS3 to configure your speakers. You only need to do the configuration if you used option 1.) You should now be able to switch between your PS3 and PC by plugging the different cable to your speakers.
