How long is the audio portion of the cable? i need to know if it will stretch from my vga port to my audio output port on my laptop...?

It should. Its pretty long. I had to wrap mine around itself many times to keep it from hanging below my tv.

I must have gotten a dud. The audio portion on my cable is only 7 in. long. Not long enough to reach the audio port and no way to alter...

The same length as the VGA section of the cable, though the ends split off about 6 inches from the ends.

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.

I bought this VGA cord to connect my Lenovo PC to the scaler: Cables Unlimited PCM-2240-06 SVGA Cable With 3.5mm Male to Male Audio (6 Feet, Black)You simply plug the 3.5( standard) audio connector into the audio output of your computer and the audio plug at the other end into the audio input on the scaler. If you find ( as I did) that the cord is too short to reach both the video and audio plugs on your PC you can use a separate cord for the audio. Otherwise, you can get great sound by using headphones connected to your PC, which I often do at night so as not to disturb others.

The end that connects to the laptop is a standard USB connection. The other end is a VGA connection. I use the cable to connect my wife's laptop to a projector. The cable is 6" long.

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.

The VGA cable is at least 24" and the audio cable comes out of the VGA cable about 7" back from either end. I like it because they stay together. I hook up my laptop to my flat screen and it works great, great video and great sound.

The VGA portion of the cable is just for video. The RCA portion (Red and White cable) produce the audio. If you are using an HDTV that has VGA input, odds are it has a PC Audio Input as well (although I would verify this first). Purchase an adapter called "3.5 mm stereo male to RCA female" to have audio to go along with your video. Hope this helps!

should be no problem. Keep in mind that HDMI does have sound but that VGA does not. The adapter will work fine as long as you are doing regular PC functions -- the sound for a movie, for example, will have to run from the laptop itself. But you can look at email and other PC stuff just fine.

I have connected mine to my laptops and then to the TV. I use the 3.5mm on the output end and it works great, however I have used it in two laptops, however the first time I use it the system has to load software for audio in order for it to work, so I could not say for certain, unless your system will recognize it. I hope that this helps

Hi - Let's clarify something right away. Do not use VGA & HDMI cables from the same source at the same time. Just remember that what ever source you feed this monitor with an HDMI cable will be the one that sound is applied to the headset jack on the back. Anything else, you will have to hook up your speaker system straight to the source unit ( PC-Game unit - video feeds ) Hooking up directly to the source unit will generally give you the best sound anyway. If you have more than one feed to the monitor, it has a switch to select which one you will receive at any given moment. The HDMI feed will be the only one that sends sound to the monitor headphone jack, and you can plug a sound system into this jack or just headphones. - Good luck and enjoy! - Jim T.

You would have to have a separate audio cable. If your laptop has a mini (1/8") headphone out, you can use a mini to rca, or whatever your audio input would require.

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.

Hello Ron, So sorry for responding so late... the length of audio cable is 24 inches... have a nice night.

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.

The cable is around 6' long. More than adaquete to reach from the far side of a typical desk to the other side. I have my laptop on the right of my desk and have the headphone cable snake to the middle left, tucked behind my keyboard and there is plenty of slack. On a whim, I tried with a USB extension cable and it works fine if you have need to extend the length.

The USB cord to the port is about 3 feet and there is enough between the speakers to get around the monitor. They sound very good to me. I have extended my USB ports with a hub that is near the monitor so I wouldn't have to be concerned about reaching the back or front of the computer. Now is you are going to use these with a laptop, you don't have the same issue. Hope this helped you. Tom Savarese, America's #1 Disco DJ.

Your T.V. probably doesn't blend the VGA with your audio input. What you need is a 3.5 audio jack to a female RCA jack. This should 100% fix your problem.
