Hi Guys,

I've got my PC set up to run through my TV instead of having a monitor, everything is working fine apart from I dont have any sound. When I had my PC running via a monitor I always had a set of PC Speakers connected up and obviously the sound came out of them.

At the moment its conected via the VGA cable to the TV. Do I need to get some audio cables between the two as well?

Dont really want to conect the PC speakers up again as I dont have anywhere to put them.

Jack to phono?

Would have thought there would be a sound input next to the VGA.

VGA cable doesn't transmit audio, as far as i'm aware so you haev to run a separate aux lead for the sound

Usually there is a mini-jack input next to the VGA connector on the TV, so you just need a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable. Optical is another option if your PC has an optical output and TV has an input. Otherwise HDMI, but you'll need a new graphics card.

I'll have a gander at the TV when I get home and see whats best.

Will probs go with the aux lead as that sounds easiest
