MBP and HDTV via DVI which audio cable?

    I have my dvi- hdmi cable to connect my new MBP to a lg 37lc3r hdtv and it works great. Resolution is amazing, but obviously no sound. I can't however use my rca cable to connect the audio like I used to because it connects to the hdm/dvi port and all the rca sockets are for the av channels only. there seems to be a digital audio input for the dvi but I don't know what cable I would need. Been reading a bit on the net and saw someone say a 3.5mm TOSLINK to standard TOSLINK cable but I can't find one. Basically it needs to go from a standard jack (MBP audio out) to the tv's digital in.

    Any help??

    you don't need a digital cable.

    just get a standard hifi 3.5mm to 3.5mm and connect the headphone jack to the audio port beside the monitor connection on the back of the TV. Its labeled RGB/DVI. Also connect the HDMI to the socket labeled HDMI/DVI.
