Hey did you get this to work? I am having the same issue!

Thanks!

Same problem. any takers?

I had the same problem and finally after spending hours going every configuration on my laptop, I realized that my HDTV had a specfic audio input jack for PC's only. Once I connected to the specifed PC audio input jack instant sound. I couldn't use the other audio input devices in the back of the TV.

Hope this helps!

The sound will not work from the TV. The s-video is specifically video. You will have to use your computer stereo or hook your computer up to a surround sound system.

Alright - listen up you confused puppies:

Computers have two seperate systems - one for video and one for sound.

The only computer (or laptop) connection that carries both video and sound is HDMI. If you do not have a HDMI/DVI connector on the back of your computer, then you will have to use the VGA-composite or s-video connectors to display your PC's output on an external monitor like an LCD TV.

On both my HP and Dell laptops the display settings (Start/Control Panel/Personalize/Display Settings) allow two modes - single or dual monitor mode. Single monitor mode allows me to switch between any one of three possible video outputs - VGA-composite, S-Video or laptop screen, or a split-desktop (display spread over two seperate monitors). Dual monitor mode allows the same display on any two of three possible video outputs.

Switching is performed using the fn keys on the keyboard (fn key plus the F2, F8, etc. function key with the display marking). You guys use single monitor mode until you figure out what your are doing. Select VGA-composite or S-Video.

Non-HDMI sound to your TV monitor or sound system must be obtained from your laptop's Headphone or S/PDIF jacks. Headphone is stereo and S/PDIF is 5.1 surround sound. Headphone is electrical, but S/PDIF may be electrical or optical (laser light). You must set the sound jack that you intend to use as the default on the PC control panel (Start/Control Panel/Sound).

None of these connectors is two-way in the context of an LCD monitor - your PC cannot record a TV picture or sound from the external monitor. To accomplish this you must purchase a video converter box that converts cable TV or video+sound inputs to USB format usable by your laptop. Do this and you can turn your laptop into a Tivo recorder/DVD burner using Beyond TV, Sage TV or a variety of other software packages.

I have connected my HP laptop with HDTV with HDMI cable, i get good quality video but no sound. if i have to use a separate audio output as my HDTV as PC audio input what kind of cable should i look for

This was my solution for the same problem on the Sony Bravia..

You need to buy something that converts the 2 tulip (red/white) cables (http://download.dasdan.be/forum/acer9814/geluidinstellen/mi­nijack_cable.jpg
) to one (http://www.skytronic.com/rsc/img/700/759_490.jpg). Put it bellow the DVI one and you have image and sound!

I too have a sony bravia, In the tv where should i connect the audio output. btw if i select pc on my tv as input, how would it effect even if i connect the audio output on some other external setting.(like video1,video2 etc)

Go to control panel and go to sound and hardware (Just go to anything that says sound)!

Then go to sound and audio devices!

Go to Audio and change the default until sound comes out of tv!

Hope this helped! i tried it with my Hp dv6000 through hdmi cable!

I have had a similar problem for a while now.I play "SPOTIFY" on my laptop and wanted a simple audio connection to my tv speakers.VGA connection required shutting down the computer while the connection cable was inserted and then a repeat performance when they were removed.I purchased a minijack to rca cable and tried pluging that in to the headphone jack on my laptop and the composite (red and white)rca ports on the tv ,guess what?no sound,I then replaced my scart to scart on my dvd player with a scart to rca cable,I connected the video(yellow)connection to the tv and then the rca cable from my laptop to the audio rca ports(red and white)on the tv,hey presto the tv now thinks the sound from the laptop is coming from the dvd player and i can listen to my laptop through the tv and diconnect it with no problems whenever i want to.
