The sound does not go away when i plug the audio cable fron the headphone combuter to TV?

I gete a cable to connect the audio from the laptop 's headphone jack into the audio in jack (which should be next to the s-video connection fo the TV. it is a mini plug (1/8" stereo) to 2 RCAs cable., I am sure that the volume from my laptop is not muted and that I can hear it from my laptop speakers. when I plug the cable the sound does not go away from the laptop to TV what is the problem?

Can a coaxial (digital audio) cable be substited for a regular component or rca audio cable?

Can a coaxial (digital audio) cable be substited for a regular component or rca audio cable?

I have lots of RCA cables, can I use one of those instead of a coaxial cable and get the same sound?

If you are trying to achieve multi-channel sound, then no, RCA (left and right only) will not give you a true 5.1 soundfield. However, if you are connecting a CD player, then yes, the RCA cable will suffice. still, even in this case a digital connection would be a wise choice. In order to take advantage of the (presumably) multi-channel digital source material you cannot use simple RCA audio interconnects. Component cables are for video only, they do not carry audio signals.

From your question alone I would recommend using the digital connection whenever possible. the cables can be found for pretty cheap now and will provide a much better experience.

If you could offer some more details on what you're trying to do and what kind of equipment you have I could offer a better answer.

Yes,you can use a good quality RCA instead of digital coaxial for surround sound but not as component video

You should be able to, however a digital coaxial
cable is designed for that connection by giving
you more interferrence rejecting insulation than
your run-of-the-mill RCA cables, so the picture
may or may not be as good. I say give it a try!
It won't harm anything.

Yes, the composite video cables and digital audio cables are all 75ohm, and the video cables will work fine for da or visa-versa. the component video cable has 3 conductors, they will work but you need 3 DA cables to move one component video signal.

well the coaxial cable would be the best for digital sound, but wou could use a rca cable. make sure if it's a 2.1 or 5.1 channel system as an rca may not give you surround sound as a digital coxial may give and the rca should be OF meaning oxygen free for a better quality.

i recomeng getting the coaxial one as it will definately not give you a problem.

good luck
