Re: [CGUYS] vga port to port
One more basic question about this matter for you guys; if I get a VGA cable and hook up the video to my TV with a VGA port, and if I hook up an audio cable to the output on the side of the computer (3.5mm labeled "stereo headphone jack" out grouped near 3.5mm input and 3.5mm mic outlets) will it get amplified at the TV end enough to have adequate volume level, or do I need something for that? -Original Message- From: rleesimon [mailto:rleesi...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, April 09, 2010 10:22 AM To: 'Chris Dunford' Cc: 'Stewart Marshall' Subject: RE: vga port to port Thanks ...you and the rev saved me from purchasing some junk that supposes to be a signal converter and is unnecessary for my use... -Original Message- From: Chris Dunford [mailto:seed...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, April 09, 2010 10:09 AM To: 'rleesimon' Subject: RE: vga port to port Either one should work for the video.

Re: [CGUYS] vga port to port
The problem will be does you flat panel have a miniphone jack for sound? I doubt it. You will need to also get a miniphone jack to two RCA plug connector to enable you to plug in the sound.
