My monitor supports, DVI-D and Display Port.

It does not support HDMI so i need something that either splits the HDMI signal into DVI-D and Audio or a HDMI to display port cable that carries audio.

Any ideas?

I live in UK so any links would be appreciated.

THanks

What's wrong with an HDMI to Display port connection?

Display port carries audio as well.

I can't find a adapter that says that it will convert HDMI to DP i can only find those that say DP to HDMI and i am guessing it won't work the other way around.

I would have nothing to plug the headset into, i need the HDMI > Audio OUT + DVI-D so that i can still use my speakers with a AUX cable

Don't think so,

That 3.5MM is probably a passthrough, nothing more.

I still recommend a DP to HDMI adapter.

This helps, to an extent.

My monitor does not have AUDIO OUT only IN and so i would be using those shitty PC speakers.

Is their a way to plug my XBOX into the PC and the PC acts like a passthrough?

Don't use VGA... best way you'd use your speakers with that thing:

HDMI->HDMI Splitter |→(HDMI to VGA+Audio Jack thing)->Audio jack->Speakers

                                ∟→HDMI to DVI -> monitor

But those converters are extremely expensive (£50), im thinking about the SPDIF port on the back, would this cable convert the signal so that it could be used for my speakers? http://www.amazon.co.uk/TOSlink-Digital-Toslink-Optical-electrosmart%C2%AE/dp/B008N15ON6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1403438227&sr=8-1&keywords=spdif+to+3.5mm+jack
