playing a ROKU but my monitor doesnt have speakers. best way to pass audio thru to my PC?

[nunyabusmus]

What's go'in on. Gents? ohh and Lady. Wats up?  

Question please to all my way smarter friends 
A friend of mine has a ROKU at their house. and I was watching It. I thought it was great. 

Long story short after I told him that I thought it was awesome, and that Ill have to go get one soon. When all of a sudden Pappa Roku appeared. and blessed me. As he had 5 spare ones lol 

So I gets home. I run up driveway run to the PC all enthusiastic. Plug it all in. get it all connected and working 100%. when this happened 

 long story short. my monitor has no speakers. So I cannot listen to anything. 
is there any way I can get the audio to pas thru. can I just cast it to my PC? 

cause current config is .
intel CPU. with on board GFX and a discreet GT 730 Nvidia!! 1X HDMI 1X VGA 1X DVI 
32" monitor (Ladies )  

Now I am spitballin here 
would it be possible. to plug the ROKU into my video card,so plugging it in to the HDMI as the INPUT  and then using the DVI OUTPUT on the vid card that would be going to my monitor.? or does the NV hardware not let you pass thru like that? 
so if that is a no go. any other options. I have found a box that lets me take the AV signal and put it into headphones or toslink back into whatever... But that requires Rupees. mucho Rupees https://www.amazon.com.au/Proster-Extractor-Converter-Optical-Splitter/dp/B073TT8JGN .

Soooo... help me obiwan kenobi's. you my only hopez

Try what jeffrok said,

" Plug it in like this:

Roku -> PC with a HDMI to DVI convertor, and then send the audio through either the stereo plugs to an line-in "input" on your PC (using an adapter cable that takes the two channels and turns them into one connector), and then you just select that input source on your PC when you want to output the audio through your computer speakers..

You could also look into getting an simple audio switcher (I'm sure they exist).. So that you can select what source your PC speakers are using- the PC or the Roku."

That is my best answer
