My understanding is that its impossible to get your pc speakers to work unless you get an adaptor that will allow you to plug them into the ps3. On a sidenote  make sure your monitor is HDCP compliant or it wont work.

The HDMI cable (im pretty sure) has to support HDCP but you have to make sure that your monitor does too. I believe that there is a way to connect your speakers to the PS3 but I haven't tried it myself. I think you have to use the av cable that comes with the PS3 and then use various adpters ( y-cables, barrel connectors. etc.) to connect the white and yellow cables to your speakers.
