Audio

[geordie_aaron]

Ok i've got the laptop (non HD) linked to the TV by the AV port via VGA cable - only problem i've got is i can't get the sound to the TV.... i've tried the headphone 3.5mmjack to component in (on the same channel as VGA) and the sound cuts out on laptop but doesn't come out tv.... so fail.

 

any ideas?

Cheers

with my TV i have to assign the rear audio to the component channel before any sound is emited if that makes any sence?

do u mean component or composite? I do the same thing with composite sound and use the d-sub from the computer to output the vga signal.

You might have to tell the tv through the menu where it is getting the sound from.

very similar duffa - although my 3rd HDMI is on the side........i dont have to use digital input do i? (FFS)

 

as for assigning where sound comes from - no options i've seen, closest i've come to is 'sound select: main' but have no means of changing as its greyed out in every source/channel

i would have said use the pc in audio with the 3.5mm jack ... but your already doing that ... have you tried putting the audio out from your laptop to another source .. pc speakers or something just top make sure your headphone output is working

+1. You might find that you have a seperate pc in volume level on the tv - check out the menus
