Because, a DVI cable does not (normally) nativly carry sound due to bandwith constraints (going the other way is possible; NVIDIA/ATI GPU's go this route).

You only options are to use component for sound to your sound system, or a Digitial Optical connection (If you don't have an elite, your console came with a converter) to your sound system. (A few moniters will pass through digital optical, but its hardly standard for moniters yet...).
