PC DVI to HDMI TV no audio Tried Everything!!! NEED HELP

[punksterz626]

Hi,

So here is my problem. I recently purchased a new PC with DVI out. I have 47" Vizio LCD. I purchased a cable that is DVI to HDMI. I know DVI does not have sound, but thats ok the HDMI input to the TV has a rca audio input. So i bought a 3.5mm audio out to RCA cable for my computer so i can plug a rca audio cable directly to the tv from my PC, but there is no sound. I dont know what im missing or im doing something wrong.

When i used my VGA 15pin cable and connect it to the TV it works. I just plug the 3.5mm audio cable to the tv and there is sound. I would rather used the dvi output rather than the VGA bc quality i notice is alot better.

Anyone who has this problem or know how to resolve this please let me know. I also have a receiver if i can plug the rca to that please let me know.

Appreciate all helps!

So you have the HDMI AND the RCA plugged in? That wont work because the HDMI is on one input and the RCAs are on a seperate input. You cant make them both work even if the rcas are just audio.

I don't know about your 47" vizio and the input panel on the side but I havea 42" LCD TV and Input 4 is an HDMI input that I use from my PC and it also has audio component cables for that same input as well. As long as you're using the same input for the video and audio you are doing nothing wrong. Perhaps you could take some pictures for us?
