but he wants sound when connected to hdmi port on his lcd so all the cables are useless without a hdmi audio/video splitter unless he mods his settop box to get audio signal seperately.

With 2.1 speakers RCA audio cable is sufficient.

My Dear Friend,
FYKI when HDMI cable is attached to set top box it's all component port will not work this is the way STB works, only S/PDIF (Coaxial Port for High End Audio) works. Thanks for your concern and I’d like to say that I implemented all the options already.
However I found the solutions which will definitely the cheaper way to watch TV in HD mode with your own HD STB (Except Videocon D2H HD STB)
1.) Use this Converter http://www.ebay.in/itm/HDMI-to-VGA-Converter-Adapter-Cable-with-Audio-Plug-n-Play-/261468401122?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_203&hash=item3ce0bb2de2&_uhb=1. Quality will little reduced but believe me output will be around 1080 if your STB is having HD Channels allowed.
2.) Connect your HD Monitor with HDMI cable directly without any converter and use the S/PDIF/Coaxial output of your STB (reason I already told you above), and connect with a connector readily and cheaply available in the market.

Are you telling if connected via HdMi cable audio is not coming from RCA audio cables? Your STB settings on Audio needs to change for sound to come in 2.1 speakers. Currently I am using 2.1 speakers. Hdmi for video and RCA for audio to my Philips 2.1 speakers. If you can still connect RCA cable tune in to any HD channel and revert if you get sound only in HD channels and no sound in SD channels.
