I want an HDMI connection form my PC to my monitor and want sound in the same cable. Do they make a graphics card with sound?
 
Yep. Initially nVidia cards required you to connect a sound card to the video card via a passthrough cable to get sound out of the HDMI cable. I believe it was not until nVidia released the GTX 4xx series that their video card came with onboard audio processing.

AMD / ATI video cards had onboard audio processing since the release of the Radeon HD 2xxx series.
