You will want to make sure that you have 2 cables running from your computer to your TV. The VGA (monitor) cable carries the video feed from the the computer to the TV, you will also need a mini headphone jack cable to be able to listen to the the computer sound through your TV speakers. This cable looks like a headphone cable and has two headphone plugs at each end. One end will plug in to your computers headphone jack or sound out jack. If your computer has multiple sound out jacks, I would suggest using a pair of headphones to find which one is outputting sound. You can also check to see if you need to adjust your sound settings on your computer. Finally, you will want to plug in the other end of the sound cable to your TV's sound in jack. You will want to be careful because your TV will more than likely have 2 or more headphone jack ports. Usually the one that you want is near the VGA port. You can check your TV user manual to see which one is the correct sound in port.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Since you didn't mention how you've connected your computer, there are a couple of things you can check. If you've connected by VGA, you'll need to connect a 3.5mm cable from your computer to your TV. Instructions for doing this are outlined in the TV owner's manual. If you've connected by HDMI or are using a DVI or Mini-DVI with conversion to HDMI, you may still need to use an audio cable. Consult your computer manual for details on these connection types. I hope this helps.
