I bought turtle beaches with a optical cable that plugs into my Xbox.  To play Xbox to monitor like i do you need HDMI to dvi cable.

Or you need a powerful enough monitor to contain the hardware to break out out and pass it to another device.

Think a basic consumer television. So either the appropriate cabling with an audio breakout as mentioned above, or a new monitor to handle the audio pass through capability you require.
