EDIT: I have one of these cables that came with my 360, can I use the HDMI for video and this for the audio? I dont really want to hack my HDMI cable...

yes sir thats what its made for, I take the stereo audio out from that dongle thing to a stereo to headphone cable to the "line in" on my pc and get audio through my pc speakers.
If you have a good sound card with "optical in" or even "spdif in" use the optical jack on the dongle instead.

DVI splitter. Make sure you only have one unit turned on at a time, ie don't run the PC and the 360 at the same time, if you are using your PC for sound you will need to unplug the DVI cable from your PC when you run your 360. Does your monitor have a VGA input also? If so, then running your PC or your 360 through VGA would be a much better choice than using the splitter.

Okay so I decided to run my comp on SVGA and my Xbox on DVI-D, and now the only thing to work out is the audio. So I was wondering if this would do the trick:

I will be plugging it into the line in on my computer so that I can hear it through my comp speakers (as suggested) but the way the adapter is advertised makes it look like its a splitter only, not a joiner. (Forgive my noobish lingo)

i would suggest not having it plugged in through the computer. plugged directly into the speakers is the best way to go, otherwise there may be lag with the sound

It's not a splitter or a joiner, it's an adapter.
