Question
Hello,
I have been trying to hook an HP laptop into an Akai LCT3201TD television. I have plugged the VGA output from the computer to the VGA input on the tv. I have also plugged a headphone to RCA cable splitter from the headphone jack of the computer into the input RCA jacks on the tv.
I have been able to see the picture just fine, but I cannot get the audio to function. I have plugged in the RCA wires into each of the different jacks on the tv and have gone through each of the "source" modes on the tv with no results. I even plugged in my Blackberry to send music through the cables, but no result there either. There is an 1/8th inch headphone style jack next to the VGA input on the TV, but since I can't get ANY input sound to work, I'm leery about buying yet another cable only to find out that I have something configured wrong.
Any assistance you can offer would be much appreciated
Sincerely,
Scott
Answer
Actually, the 1/8" jack by the VGA input on the TV is where you'll run the PC audio to. Typically, whenever a TV has a VGA type input, the corresponding audio jack will be right next to it, as is the case with your TV.
When you have the VGA input selected, you will not get any audio from any of the other RCA inputs, as they are all dedicated to particular input channels.
