I'm getting mixed answers on this audio cable issue. My laptop's audio I/O is approx. 13.5" from the VGA Jack (on the other side, of course). Too far?

Mine is on the opposite side too and I have no problem using it. I measured the audio cable from where it connects to the VGA head to the audio head (where it plugs into the audio I/O) and it's more than 24 inches long. I run the audio cable across my keyboard, which is more than 14 inches and have no issues whatsoever. It slows down my typing but I can still type. Hope that helps.

Yes, too far. The audio jack is much less than 13.5", and it starts at the base of the VGA jack. Most of these combo chords have an audio jack about the same length, but there are extensions you can buy.

Should fit yours with room to spare. Cord is 21 1/2' not counting connecting ends. I have mine on toshiba satellite with room to spare. My vega is 17" from audio measuring from side around the corner of computer and to front where av is. I would run it under compter with yours. Hope this helps you.

nope, nothing to do with the monitor, it's just that dvi does not support audio.

Mine works fine. Does your computer support audio output through display port?

So far this cable is working fantastically for me.Your problem might be your laptops' settings. Make sure it's set to mirror your screen and not set to use a secondary display.

I have this situation in theory. I have one side of the KVM attached to a ThinkPad. In practice, I dodged the problem by not caring about the mic and by attaching a Dragonfly USB Audio DAC to a USB port near the DisplayPort port, and the sound goes to the KVM from that.

I returned mine for reasons of incompatability. Possibly a driver issue w/Win 7&8 Laptops...Then I bought the M-Audio interface for a few dollars more ...Totally satisfied...more flexibility using Amp 3, Revalver 4, GTR, and Guitar Rig 5.

I use a 35 ft. VGA/ audio cable from my PC with a PC/TV tuner, using it as a DVR with Windows Media center to my Big Screen and also use my Monitor with a VGA Powered splitter. Using a powered splitter because with out it I had lines on the TV, the powered splitter took care of it, but I also have a hum or feed back sound, can't explain it. It may be the same sound you have, if you get a answer to your question please let me know at DWB@socal.rr.com, Thanks Don

Just adding to my previous comment, there will be no audio onto your monitor regardless it works or not. HDMI to DVI will only transfer video.

The audio cord is about 22 inches long. I personally bought a 3.5 mm Male/Female Extension cable so that the audio cable would reach the audio port of my laptop. Video and audio are on opposite sides of my laptop.

no i ran across the same problem and forgot that dvi does not carry sound, only hdmi does. so you would have to find another alternative or use a separate cable for the sound

I use a VGA cable to run my laptop off of my TV. However instead of hooking up an audio cable to the television I just plug in a small set of speakers to the laptop to increase the volume coming off of the laptop. It's really same thing, just that sound comes off of the computer instead. Just a suggestion and another option.

J. Jones, Sorry I didn't reply to this eariler.... but did you BUILD the computer yourself? If so did you attach the proper cable from the sound card to the video card to get the sound TO the video card? And if you did, DID you connect it properly? If you didn't build it yourself, did you crack open the case to see if the manufacturer installed thecable and did it properly, AND that it did not come loose in shipping? It's an internal cable, check your manuals. And check the cable itself if all else fails. It may be you've got a bad one.

I read that audio is not supported, BUT will the laptop/chromebook audio speakers still work or by plugging into the HDMI port it cuts out the audio of the laptop.

I think your hookup is bass ackwards. The audio should run via ARC or Audio Return Channel from your monitor to the Somy headphone. I believe this is done via Toslink.

Check everything:1. Computer volume still correct?2. Amp volume ok?3. EQ not messed with?4. Headphone cable ok?5. Cable to computer ok?6. Tube seated?Check the obvious first... Otherwise, I have no idea, mine sounds great!

You would need an optical audio output from the laptop which is not standard. Your best bet for high quality sound from your setup would be to use separate speakers and amplifier and get the sound from your laptop directly from the line output jack. You would need a 3.5mm stereo cable with RCA plugs on the other end.

Mine works fine. I'd try to reset your computer and/or confirm that the audio out is automatically switching to the display port (when TV is turned on). Win 7 automatically does this (not sure about older OS systems). You may also want to look for an updated audio driver for your laptop.
