Do the latest vga cards require the use of an spdif cable for sound via HDMI?

I am currently connecting my PC to my LCD TV through an HDMI cable. I cannot hear any sound coming through my LCD. I browsed around and it looks like I require an spdif cable that connects my vga card to my motherboard's spdif out connector. The problem is no computer store that I have phoned have a clue what I am talking about trying to explain this cable. So i am thinking, does the latest VGA cards still require this cable, because if they don't, I'll just rather buy a new VGA card than go through the torture of explaining the purpose of this cable again.
