No sound from pc to tv

[sammyc]

I was wanting to connect my pc temporarily to my basic tv, using S-video [now sorted]

Ok, I've self-helped myself with my original query - can anyone kindly troubleshoot my remaining issue, of no sound outputting from pc through phono to RCA connection at tv.

Not really a problem as I'm happy to use headphones, I'd just like to know for knowledge's own sake, Google hasn't really helped.

Bumped for new query, as above.

phono to rca?

do you mean 3.5mm to 2 phono rca? or does the pc output through 2 phono rca jacks too (so cable is 2 phono to 2 phono)?

If it does output through 2 phono rca have you tested these on another device eg a hifi?

Also I know it sounds silly but have you checked that the phono connections on the TV are inputs and are linked to the s-video input?

Yes, I mean 3.5 jack to 2 RCA. Tv does not have many inputs (cheapo portable) so I'm using a scart adapter switched to input - which is coping fine with the S-video, hence the picture but no sound situation.

Thanks

It could be either,

a) You are connecting the 3.5mm end to the green/black headphones/speaker jack, rather then the blue line out

b) Line out needs to be set in the drivers (many AC97 devices can re-configure the ports for different uses)

I doubt its the SCART adapter as they are extremely basic things, also, because your getting video through it, I doubt it's a setting on the TV.

For me, blue is line in.

Choice of ports is just the basic 3 line out: 1 green 1 black & 1 orange (c/sub); pink: microphone, blue: line in. So yes I was using green/line-out.

Sorted - it was simply that monitor 2 (the tv) was set at not active, when I checked desktop/display properties/settings. As the picture was ok, and I'd done all the setting-up of multiple display &c through nvidia control panel, omitted to check that properly.

Thanks anyway for the input.
