No, DVI cables do not carry sound. They are designed to carry just video signals, therefore you will need a separate audio connection to hear the sound.
If you have an HDMI connection, then you can use this to carry the video and the sound down the same cable.

Does HDMI cable carry video and audio?
HDMI is a connector standard designed fo rboth HD and SD video. It will carry both audio and video signals within the cable so it provides a single cable interface between equipment. It might be worth mentioning that DVI, the digital computer display interface that is gaining popularity is compatible with HDMI other than the fact that DVI does not carry audio. HDMI to DVI cables are available to connect computers to television displays. Therefore, any HDMI cable that has a DVI connector at one end or the other will not carry audio.

Can HDMI carry analog audio?
HDMI cables can carry audio but it is in digital format only. Any HDMI connector will be capable of carrying the audio content and any input should be capable of receiving and processing the audio in digital format. There should normally be no need to use analog audio with HDMI but there is one notable exception. HDMI shares the same video interface format as DVI, the digital display output used on computers. However, DVI does not support audio so a cable that links a DVI output to an HDMI input will not carry audio. For this reason, many new televisions have at least one HDMI input that also has an analog audio input associated with the HDMI port. This is specifically provided to cater for DVI + analog audio as delivered by many computers.
Why audio is not coming in TV when laptop is connected with HDMI cable?
Computers are increasingly using digital video instead of VGA. Many computers now have a DVI connector in addition to the standard VGA connector. DVI carries digital video and happens to be the same signal format as used in HDMI cables. Using a DVI to HDMI cable allows most modern televisions to display the computer screen. There is one large difference between DVI and HDMI in that DVI connectors do not carry audio. If the computer has a DVI connector, there is definitely no audio carried. If the laptop has an HDMI connector, it may be the case that it still carries no audio. Some computers use HDMI as the video connector to save space but retain the DVI signal format, missing the audio signal completely. If this is the case, all is not lost. Most televisions that have an HDMI input also have an analog audio input connector linked to the same input. The setup menu normally allows a selection of digital audio (using the HDMI cable) or analog (using the analog connectors). If there is more than one HDMI input the analog option may be on just one connector. If this does not solve the sound problem, there might be a problem with the audio output on the computer itself. A search through the control panel help to eliminate the problem.
