It is very simple. In VISTA, go to Control Panel, Sounds and then check the option to pipe the sound to HDMI

Not sure if ur laptop has HDMI connection, but If you are using DVI to HDMI connection from the laptop then you need another audio cable(stereo/RCA).

I bought the TV Samsung LN46A650 and I am trying to connect my laptop through this cable (Cables To Go - 43096 - 10ft HD15 M/M UXGA Monitor Cable with 3.5mm Audio: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EI7SE4),but it isnot working. Do you know if the cable is wrong or if there is any installation needed?

You connect it by using and hdmi cable (best option) or a optical audio cable from your TV. If you use and HDMI cable make sure your TV has an output labeled ARS, that means that it can accept audio both ways

You can hook your PC up to this TV via a few methods:1) VGA. You'll be able to use the standard "15-pin D-Sub" cable most are familiar with for most PCs. This provides an analog signal.2) DVI-to-HDMI. If your PC has an DVI port, you can get a HDMI to DVI Adapter Cable and plug the DVI end into your PC and the HDMI end into your TV.3) HDMI. If your PC has an HDMI port, you can plug an HDMI cable from the PC to the TV. This link also provides sound (not entirely sure the TV supports this but most do).There is also a 4th option, less likely, but if your laptop or PC has a DisplayPort port, you can get a DisplayPort Male to HDMI Cable Male or if you have a Macbook, a mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.

A number of HDTV's have VGA ports, Just a little extra room in your laptop bag for a VGA cable. You would also need an audio cable to go from laptop to TV. HDMI can carry Audio & Video.

At the very least, you would need a displayport to hdmi adapter in order to make the connection from computer to TV. From what i've read, the audio should pass through the adapter.

Glad to help. DVI will only carry a video signal with no audio. It will send the picture from your HP to your Sony. But you will need to run a audio cable from your computer to the TV for sound. The nice thing is most Sony TV's have a analog sound input( RCA red and white or a 3.5 headphone jack) that you can assign to a HDMI port.

I don't have S-Video out on my laptop, so I can't help you there. I do have VGA out and connecting my PC to the HDTV involved nothing more than hooking up the cables between the 2 units, and selecting the appropriate input source on the TV (usually by pushing the SOURCE button on the TV remote several times until the right one shows up). Your laptop may also have an external video output button that you have to press. Most laptops I've seen put these functions up in the F-keys. My Acer, for example is F5 + the Fn key.

I'm assuming your Sony Bravia has a VGA port, also known on some tv's as a "PC" port, check to make sure first; if that's the case, you can simply run to your local retail store (Walmart, Target, Radioshack) or continue looking here online or at ebay for a VGA cable. The only thing to watch for in that case was that each end of the cable look the same, with pins rather than holes. Simple.

It sounds like you did everything correct. Try other ports on the TV. My tv has PC, HDMI 1 and 2 and when I have my laptop hooked up to the tv I have to use the HDMI 2 setting. Good luck.

Sounds like a defective cable. I bought a micro hdmi to hdmi cable and it works great. Not so well with a micro hdmi adapter. If it doesn't work with another cable and/or the VGA cable, then the unit is probably defective.

Should be all you need if I'm understanding your application correctly and as you can see, the audio speaker cable is included. Most all Laptops and LCD/LED TV's have VGA connectors these days. However, if I had a HDMI connector on both the Laptop and the TV, I would order a HDMI cable instead.

From reading the manual (which I downloaded from the Support section of www.sonystyle.com), it said that HDMI-to-DVI cables and HDMI-DVI adapters are not recommended, but it didn't explicitly say they wouldn't work. Reading between the lines, it seems they aren't recommended only because they only send video information, and you'll need a second connection for the audio...which is really no big deal, if you ask me.If anyone can provide more information, I'd appreciate it. I'm planning on buying this receiver soon but my cable box only does DVI, not HDMI, so this would be a deal-breaker.

you don't; vga doesn't carry audio. it's not like hdmi.does your monitor have built-in speakers? if so, then there will be a line-in (aka auxiliary, 3.5mm, 1/8", etc.) input which looks exactly like a headphone jack, except that sound goes into it instead of out of it. in that case, you'll need an rca to 3.5mm cable or adapter. if your monitor doesn't have speakers, then just route your rca cables to your sound system. i hope that helps.

I tried connect my Sony laptop to my Samsung TV using this cable, it didn't work. Don't really know why but it didn't.

Luis, here is what I did. I have a basic Dell monitor with a DVI & VGA input connected to my PS3. What I did:(Display)I bought a HDMI to DVI (or HDMI to VGA) and used the HDMI output from the PS3. (Audio)Then, I connected the the PS3 component plug (red/yellow/white) to a pair of desktop speakers. How to:Use the basic component plug (red/yellow/white) [red and white = audio] Go to Radioshack / Amazon or good electronics store and visit the audio department. Purchase an "Audio Component to headphone Jack adapter" What this does : connect red and white component from Xbox/PS3 to this adapter and plug speakers to the other side of the adapter. It should work! Contact me if you need clarification! Luis, here is what I did. I have a basic Dell monitor with a DVI & VGA input connected to my PS3.

You will need to connect audio between the laptop and whatever amp/speakers you require (even your laptop speakers might be usable.) In any case, you may likely need to change your audio settings on the laptop so HDMI audio is not in use. There may be some audio breakout boxes for HDMI cables, but for the price and addtional hardware involved, its not worth it. I've never used one.
