How did it work for sound? I want to connect laptop to DVD recorder for video and sound; does the sound come through the vga output?

It won't work for sound. the VGA signal is video only, no audio. I tried to use mine for a video connection from a DVD player with component out to a TV with a PC/VGA in port. It didn't work either. Apparently it's a one-way cable from from VGA out to component in, and I've since read that's only if the device with component in will translate that VGA signal to component. ...basically, this cable was a waste of money.

The unit does not have audio outputs.. You will have to connect an additional audio source from the device being used for the projector. If a laptop is being used, you need to hook up a pair of speakers to that using the 3.5 mm audio output from the laptop. (a decent quality computer speaker system should work fine) .. If a DVD player is being used, you will need an additional audio amplifier with speakers to be connected from the DVD player itself, (usually RCA type connections).

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.

Hi,I assume you are trying to record the VCR to the DVD recorder. There is a yellow (composite) video OUT on the VCR, plug that to the grex IN, then the grex OUT plug into the DVD recorder source IN. Then set your DVD recorder to the source IN you plugged in and record. The DVD recorder HDMI to TV has no purpose in the recording, only for watching the recording so it's fine.

Thanks for all the answers. Yes, with the VGA cable the sound works. If i use the HDMI i lose the sound.

Thank you, I know it has an analog 3.5mm audio output but as I know there are some devices that need the signal vga to work the audio output 3.5mm... If you have already tested my issue, please Let me know

A VGA port carries video only, not audio+video like an HDMI cable does. You'll need to run audio through a separate cable (usually through a 3.5mm headphone jack) no matter what adapter you use.

I am using it successfully to hook up an S-video microscope camera to my computer. I would not recommend it for a DVD/VCR it does not carry the audio signal. There are other ones that do.

No, this is a video adapter cable for computer video cards with DVI connectors to attach a VGA monitor with out using the block adapter that came with the card. There is no audio on the VGA signal

I use the BEHRINGER U-PHONO UFO202 audio interface (available from amazon for $30) to connect my laptop to the mixer/amp. If your tv is one of the newer versions you should be able to connect your video from your laptop via USB or VGA. Not sure about your soundbar arrangement.

I am not quite sure of the question but I will try to help.... The VGA port is the standard port that a monitor would use to connect to. You would not use this to connect a VGA output from a laptop to HDMI. This is the revers of that. This takes HDMI input to VGA output.

Not sure. I use mine for multiple inputs to TV but my inputs are XBox360 and PC videos via HDMI port on laptop. In both cases the sound comes through just fine. I've played downloaded videos rated as 720p video from my laptop to it and that worked fine too. Hope that helps.

The cable I was sent was male to male on both the sound and VGA cable. As long as you are going VGA to VGA connector no problem.

Your VGA monitor will work but sound will need to be hooked up to another audio device to listen to. I use an RCA to 1/8" stereo adapter to run the audio to my line input on my PC and use the PC speakers. So you would use the white and red from your receiver for audio and the yellow RCA is your video to the converter.

I have used this adapter only for video data - to display what was on my computer screen on the projection screen. There was no audio data included in my projection. That said, I would check all the usual suspects - are all the cables secure? - are the speakers connected? - are the speakers on? - is the sound card ok? Is the mini HDMI-HDMI converter ok? After checking that all the mechanical pieces are right, I'd reboot everything and try again. I hope this helps. Best regards, TNF

I have only used it to connect my laptop to a larger monitor, so I'm not sure about audio.....but it works like a charm for the monitor connection.
