S-video and audio question

Allright, my parents just bugh a huge LCD TV, and I want to connect the laptop to it to watch movies and maybe play some games. The deal is that I can connect my Sager 5791 to it, I can get the image...but what about audio? do I need another cable or how does this work? It`s the first time I`ve ever been curios how a game would look like on a huge tv,and so far , there is no sound, just image...
Help?

 

The S video cable does not carry the audio signal. Connect the audio out of your laptop to the audio inputs of the TV. You may need some sort of adapter as the TV will most likely have RCA connectiors.

 

your headphone jack is usually your audio out (unless you have a "Line Out" jack or are using an external sound card).

therefore, you need a 1/8"-to-? converter, the "?" being whatever type of input you have on your Audio In on the tv, receiver, whatever.

 

Well, what I`m asking, how can I port the sound directly to the Tv? I mean,since i`m using the image, might as well use the sound also...
I`ll see if I can accomplish your sugestions. Thanks

 

huh?

those aren't suggestions. if you want sound from your computer pushed through a receiver or tv, that's how you do it.

otherwise you can plug headphones into the jack or just use your computer speakers

 

well,let`s put it this way. I have no idea how that converter should look like, so I have no idea what I`m looking for

 

you need something like this,

basically 3.5mm to RCA

 

Exactly. I have the same to plug a Bose Acoustic Wave in the the laptop and the s-video or VGA into a digital projector.

 

Question. I have a cannon camera,whichs has a cable to connect it to the tgv to wathc the pictures or movies from it.Now , tht cable fits in the Firewire port. Does it do anything , or it'sjust a coincidence??
