My computer has S-Video out, and right now the only way to here the sound is to turn up my computers volume really loud :blush: Is there any types or cables I could get that will allow the sound from my computer to go out to my TV?
Thanx

Hi mikoto
Yes, it will depend on the sound input to your TV. It could be a cable or a combination of cable and adaptor. Take a look at your TV and go see your local kit/electronics shop. BF

As BF says, it depends on the TV. Most TVs that take s-video in also have RCA inputs (video[yellow], L/R audio[red & white]). The s-video really only replaces the yellow video connector and you still need to use the L/R RCA audio connections. UNLESS, you happen to have digital audio out on the PC and digital in on the TV.

If you have standard RCA jacks on your device (could be a TV, Receiver, Stereo Hi-Fi, whatever), all you need is a cheap cable available from any electronics store, that will have a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack at one end, and 2 male (pointy) RCA jacks at another end (usually white and red). It will probably be labelled along the lines of "3.5mm Stereo Plug to 2x RCA". Buy the cheapest one. Just plug the small jack into your PC speaker out or line out, and the 2 RCA jacks into your home theatre component. Simple analog connection. Digital audio is another matter however.
