In some cases certain manufacturers say in the instructions that when using s video with seperate audio, you cannot use the HDMI for the sound and sometimes visa versa, it's just the way the output is set up. Remove the other sound cable you are using for pc or tv and just use HDMI to confirm that the sound is re-enabled on the HDMI

Alba 22 Inch monitor drivers

You need to explain your actual problem. What operating system, graphics card, PC, resolution required, monitor model number, connector type being used (VGA, DVI, HDMI) etc.
Monitors don't usually require drivers to work. Drivers for your graphics card may affect operation or you may be using the wrong lead/connector/interface.

Monitor works perfectly, but after a recent crash of my comp. Ive lost all sound ..The comp doesnt seem to recognize the build in speakers..

The computer does not have to recognize the powered speakers that are built-in the monitor, the computer feeds the analog audio signal the powered speakers inside the montior, there is no driver needed either, but you do need the PC sound card driver for you to get sound through any powered speakers (either the desk top powered speakers or the one inside the montior).
Since your computer had crashed, the driver for the sound card may be have to be reloaded.
You can verify if the monitor speakers are working or not by feeding it with an MP3 player or sound output from CD player.

How do you connect the XBOX audio line out to the monitor audio input? If the xbox HDMI output is set to send the digital audio through the HDMI cable, you will not get the sound since you are using HDMI to DVI because the DVI is not made to accept the digital audio. You will need to to use the XBOX analog audio output instead feeding the audio cable with mini stereo phone plugs, please read XBOX user manual.

I bought an HDMI wire and it does not work with my tv.

A quick Google search for "IBIAO Technology" on November 2017 had no hits for me. This is not a comment on the quality of their products but might indicate a smaller than usual company or distributor.

I have purchased more than 10 generic HDMI cables from "Mycablemart". All continue to work perfectly on my TVs (LG, Samsung, Sharpe, Viewsonic). These sets were manufactured between 2006 and 2011 and include a 3D plasma unit. Cable prices were typically one half to one third that of big box stores for the purchased lengths of 18 inches to 15 feet.

A Google search using "powered hdmi cables" had a hit for an HDMI.org.learning center with questions and answers to just about every HDMI related issue. One Q/A indicated normal HDMI cables will work up to 10 meters (30+ feet) if the sender/receiver are engineered properly. You might consider buying an active or powered HDMI cable if a cheaper standard cable will not work.
