if you just look at those cord names for what their ends are youll be able to understand what i connected.

my tv has the hdmi end. i used the monitor's connection for the tv and monitor both at same time.

Since VGA cable does not carry sound you have to use the analog outputs from the motherboard to analog inputs on the tv, if it has them. I'm guessing you don't have hdmi output from the pc.

no i dont have hdmi on my pc.

and i also have 2 connections on the back of my pc that are each a 15 pin connection. (what are they? i cant see back there.). and i have some kind of round connection back there. i dont know what that is. i also have 1 or 2 rectangular connections that are for something about the size of a usb plug , but with rounded corners on the metal cover there. i learned froma webpage of computer connections those rectangular ones dont do any of what i need done.

ohhhh, was that round pc connection an analog connection? well if it is then how do i convert my tv from digital to analog on just the part thats for the pc stuff to be seen and heard on my tv?

also i think theres a round hole on my tv in back. is that also the analog connection?

It would probably have a pair of RCA jacks on back of the tv if it has them at all. The single hole may be S-video if the tv is older but I don't think that can carry sound either. S-video splits the color bands and reassembles them at the destination end of the cable. If the motherboard has SPDIF output you could run it to a stereo receiver and then run RCA cables to the tv, if the tv has jacks for that. List the motherboard brand and model so I can see what options you have.

rca? i believe i learned those are the red yellow and white a/v holes. yes my tv has those on the side.

spdif? is that what i called those rectangular holes? well good. now how do i know if these go into the pc or out from it to something else?

ok, now what?

I need to know what motherboard you have to help you better. You may be able to use an adapter from the motherboard headphone jack to rca and then all you'd need would be the rca cables.

Ok I see now. I didn't know it was so old. I think your best/cheapest option is to use an adapter from the speaker/headphone jack to dual rca jacks. See the link I posted earlier. You should be able to find one local to you.

Yes either of those would work. Then run RCA cables to the tv. I see no reason why that would not work.

No, of course not. This is just for audio. I thought you had the video working? Did I read that wrong?

is that a great idea to get both audio and video to the tv?

 

[Archaic59]

It looks like the same thing I linked for you (VGA to HDMI converter w/ audio), just a different brand.
