Where does the RCA cable plug into for sound on TV from laptop?
Sounds like a very simple question. I have a new Samung LCD, and I have connected the screen via VGA cable, and the picture is working perfectly. I'm aware you can't get sound without using an RCA cable, so i plug one end into the headphone socket on the Laptop, and the red and white leads where exactly? I've tried every red and white socket on the back of the TV.

SOLUTION:
======================
You must use a 3 1/4" Male to Male cable to plug into the 3 1/4" jack on your TV.
EXPLANATION:
======================
This is where they trick you. The RCA plugs are ALWAYS linked to a specific video in, and the audio will only work on that input.
For example:
INPUT 1 - (V) (L)(R)
INPUT 2 - (V) (L)(R)
the Left and right (red and white) will only work when you are on input 1 or input 2
This is because the Red and White RCAs are linked to a Yellow RCA (Video) or S-Video Input. This is just the way it works.
The VGA cable (also called RGB) is linked to its own audio input. It is a 3 1/4" jack. This is the standard headphone jack size. You will need a simple cable for $5 at radio shack.
It is called a 3 1/4" Male to Male cable.
ENJOY!
