Hi guys. I have a laptop with 1 hdmi slot and a vga slot.
I am using Netflix but I want to connect it to my tv surround sound
Any idea how I can do this?
All im doin now is the hdmi laptop to tv hdmi

aldi have hdmi cables. probably 1/2 the price of other shops.
in theory you should be able to send hd audio and video via hdmi.
the model and the os will be a big factor in your success

its a cable with the red and white connectors on one end and 3.5mm jack on the other end, red and white connectors go into your surround sound system or tv and jack lead goes into headphone socket of laptop

That will only give you stereo, not surround sound.

What are you using for surround sound? A separate amp and speakers? or surround speakers connected directly to your tv(depends on model)
