What model is the TV? I want to google it and get a image of the back panel.
DVI doesn't carry sound, but HDMI does. So the TV might want sound from that input and you plugging in left & right RCA's for sound, might be on a different TV input?

Yes, I looked at the back panel. And I assume you've had no luck?
As you have 2 HDMI inputs and a component input [your 3 colors and 2 audio(L+R)]

So plugging audio into the component and using an HDMI input for video, won't work.

A DVI to component "cheater cable" would be the easiest.

Ideally you would get a video card with an HDMI output. Most GPU's now have: display port plus HDMI and DVI.
