Connecting My PC to TV Using VGA Cable No Sound

    VGA Pc to TV Cable Kit - No Sound.?

    I have purchased a VGA PC to TV Cable Kit

    This one - http://www.shoppingcentre.net/shop/v...kit-p-425.html

    It arrived today, and I have spent the last two hours trying to get it to work.

    I have hooked up the VGA cables and splitter, and the connection is perfect. The picture is brilliant.

    But I am having no luck whatsoever with the sound.

    As you can see they have provided me with a RCA cable. One end is black, the other end has two of them, one red, one white.

    I have plugged the coloured RCA cables into the back of my TV - into the R and L holes, and have plugged the black lead into the headphone socket on my PC. which did nothing.

    I then plugged it into the Green hole which has another 5 different colours with it.

    I cannot get sound no matter what I try.

    Does anybody know the solution?

    Along with the Panel of 6 different colours holes, I have Black and Orange holes near where you plug the keyboard/mouse in. It says Digital audio on them, and I have tried plugging the lead into both of them, but I had to force them in and out, and even when they were in nothing happened still.

    I am at the end of my tether?

    Please help

    Thankyou

    Your link is broken.

    The TV has a green plug or your PC does? You should only be looking at an input set with Red (Right channel), White (Left channel), and Yellow (Video).

    Only use the Blue/Red/Green if you VGA cable converts into these. It should be a VGA>Yellow. If its VGA>RGB use the RGB and leave the yellow empty.

    Do headphones work with your PC?

    website gone already ? looks dodgy.
    lookup hardware list on My Computer/manage/device manager, - see what devices are listed in sound category. check for any yellow triangles. if there is only one then you should hear audio on laptop, if more :
    Then for the software you're using, check options/preferences and set the sound out option to each device in turn.
    best of luck

    Well if the sound is working through those speakers you got from your friends then the problem lies with the tv. Go into the menu and find audio settings. make sure it allows audio to enter through the stereo inputs.

    Otherwise you may have to select the audio source on your tv.

    It should be on your remote
