What kind of connections do you have? (Both the TV and the computer). You could always rig together an HDMI line or something like that.

I believe what you want is a Chromecast stick. They can stream stuff from your PC Wirelessly.

God. I swear by Chromecast and have three at home, yet I almost always forget to recommend it.

And with a Chromecast you can cast apps like Hulu, Netflix, etc. to the Chromecast with your phone without needing to use a computer.

heh, yea. Chromecast is pretty neat alright.

Alternatively, he could look into Intel's WiDi technology, but there's not a lot of guides on how to set it up since you need specific hardware that supports it to make it work.

Just going to add here, and maybe I'm not understanding properly, but with newer Nvidia video cards (maybe AMD too) when you use the HDMI cord to hook to a TV it plays sound too.

HDMI is audio and video together. Just like SCART and Coaxial.

It would be more valid to say "Some video cards that dont support sound cards for HDMI wont play sound through the TV"

Remember you can direct the output in sound settings too

he was saying the earlier nvidia cards didn't broadcast the sound through the hdmi port, which is true. You use to have to connect an extra cable that would give you the hd audio to the card from the motherboard. That extra cable carried the audio signal to the card's hdmi output.
