Hello, I have a Compaq laptop running Win 7. It does not have an HDMI port. I want to reproduce what is on my screen to the LG HDTV, including sound.
I can connect the picture using the 15 pin connecting cable, but can get no sound. The fellow at Radio Shack sold me a cable that fits into the headphone jack on my laptop, then has a red and a white wire that connects to the back of my TV. I get no sound from that.
It was suggested that I get a cable that has an identical headphone jack on both ends and try that. Will this transmit the audio that is on my laptop?
Also, are there settings on my laptop that need to be changed in order to reproduce everything on my laptop onto the TV? I have a soundbar if that makes any difference.
