In advance ignore my Facebook account email when I was 12 years old lol. The American idiots song.
I have a Sony Home Theater bluray/surround sound system. I'm not sure of the model atm but it has 1 of each had. Has 1 hdmi, optical, and left right audio in. The laptop has 1 HDMI and VGA (the blue prong port for video. Can't remember what it's called if it's not VGA). My TV has no optical but seemingly everything else.
I cannot figure out at all how to get the laptop onto the surround sound. I can get the Sony player to do surround sound with just an HDMI.
The Sony Web Browser sucks so bad I can't get anything online onto the web browser and actually get it to work, cause of ads and all.
I am thinking I must need something to act as a middle man but I have no idea what that would even be. I'm not very tech savvy when it comes to home theaters. This is honestly my first one and I haven't had it hooked up in 5 years so I don't remember what I did..
I'm not sure how else to describe my issue, I feel like this sounds stupid but I can't figure out how to word It I guess. Any help would be super appreciated and would save so many headaches and then I don't have to use just TV sound for laptop.
