I didn't have sound at first either until I attached the extra small cord (hanging off the plug to the computer) to the microphone plug on the front of my computer.

Your TV MUST have a VGA imput Plug IN and also an INPUT jack for Audio... 3.5 standard. If it doesn't have either of these then you can not connect your laptop to your TV that way. Maybe you just need a HDMI cable.

If I understand your question correctly, no. This cable is intended to connect FROM a DisplayPort output on your laptop to a VGA input on a monitor or projector.

Hi Deborah,I have been successful with my hookup and audio. At this point I would make sure your laptop supports a direct HDMI connection and that you have changed your audio output in the control panel under whatever O.S. you have.Hope this helps.Also, in some situations, the audio is going to default to the laptop if the connection is a HDMI Input. You want a HDMI Output on the laptop.

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.

First the cable VGA connection is female...and so is the VGA connection on your laptop . So, to make this cable work, you would need a double male plug between your computer VGA and the cable VGA. I bought the cable to interface between a projector and laptop. When I plugged the VGA cable into my laptop, the audio (out) on my laptop did not have any output? That killed the deal for me as the saying goes...

I connect the device to my notebook whit a hdmi cable, but the sound is reproduced by the X-12 speaker, the sounds is good but is very low, and the sound can not be amplified or at least I not discovered how to do it.

I would check the pins to see if they are broken. Could be a bad cable also check it with another tv if it works fine with another TV could be the settings for the tv.

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.

Check to see if your TV has RCA audio inputs in the back (it probably does...they're the little round red and white ones with a hole in the middle). Next, I'm assuming your laptop has a headphone jack. If it does, then go to Radio Shack and ask for a "stereo mini to male RCA" cord. Plug the mini end into your headphone jack on your laptop and plug the RCA end into the back of your TV. This should work. If you have surround sound, then you could also plug the RCO end into your surround sound system.

I have the same computer that you have. I hooked the cable up to three different TVs and it still doesn't work. I haven't tried the VGA port (blue port) on it yet; but the RCA ports (the red, white, and yellow) do not work.

I have my computer output connected to a surround system instead of directly into the television. Make sure that you have the audio on your computer turned on and the connection to "audio out" and not "microphone". If connected properly, you should not be able to hear the laptop audio. It should be directed thru the converter and combined into the HDMI connection at the set. There should be no audio coming from the computer speakers if properly connected.

Check your TV to see if it has optical output. If it does, then hook up the optical cable to it. Note: some of the sound will NOT process by this model (like XBOX games, or sounds has DTS). In that case you have to use RCA cable to hook up from your TV to this sound bar. I also found an issue with this model is that, when the sound bar is on, it will mess up my wireless connection to my laptop.

If your laptop has a DVI output (and a lot do NOT), then yes. Sound would still be through your laptop's audio system, not the TV.

I don't understand the question : display port on the laptop or monitor? In any case, this typically creates an HDMI port out of the other standard (display port?) . Can connect a TV too but watch out :sound does not go through.
