You mean you don't get sound from your computer or you don't get sound from your TV? I'm assuming you just hooked up your TV to your computer like a monitor? If so, then should should just come out of your computer like normal (I think).

AAHHH, yes, I don't think the S-Video cable will send any sound signal. You'll probably need to run a cable from your sound jack to the TV also. For this you will probably need a cable that has a typical male mini-jack on one end and red and white male coax connectors on the other end (formally known as an RCA stereo cable).

Plug the mini-jack into the green (line out) port on your sound card and then plug in the red and white coax cables into the back (or whever) on your TV that specify themselves as "Audio In" or something similar.
