There are no separate wires for audio in HDMI cables.
The data is sent in packets down the same wires. DVI inputs just throw any audio packets away.

Well, there are actually 3 different pinouts for DVI, and one of them includes (I think) 4 wires for analog audio. But it isn't used by any system for home theater, so it still just throws away the digital audio.
