Bigger pictures maybe?? jeeze

You have a few options for sound.

1. Use extensions on the RCA jacks of the VGA cable there and run them to a stereo for sound.

2. Use the Optical connector on the VGA cable and run it to a stereo for sound.

3. Use an RCA to 1/8" Stereo adapter so you can plug the RCA connectors of the cable into the Line Input of the PC there. Then the sound will come thru the PC speakers.

That adapter would work just fine. The VGA cable comes with one though, so you shouldn't need to buy one, unless you bought a 3rd party cable.

MY VGA cable went into the back of my screen fine just no sound was out putted and I had no where to plug the scart leads



What do you mean the VGA cable should have one ?




As you can see I don't know much bout this sort of thing  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

The Microsoft's VGA cable comes with an adapter for the stereo outputs and a small adapter for making the cable female, in stead of male.
Check around if you still have it laying somewhere.

The Line Input is on the back of your PC, since the pic isn't fully there I can't tell ya which one it exactly is. In most cases it's a Blue 1/8" jack, but if ya have a sound card it may be a different color. There's a reason things come with instruction manuals. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
