Also bought a HDMI cable the other day so stream it straight on to the tele, it's amazing and I'm not very computer literate so I'm pleased I managed to follow the instructions

I just have a VGA cable from my laptop to the TV and the laptop headphones cable goes to my stereo auxilary socket, Sorry.....

It was one of those that has the screw either side if the plug that you screw in the keep it in, in almost like a D shape. 15 pin thing. so lord knows what i was doing but it worked.

So if i had a VGA that gave me pictures, how did i get my sound?

Any idea?
