Picture but no sound on GeForce 8600GT using s-video out?

I have an Nvidia GeForce 8600GT pci card. The card has an s-video output & came with a short s-video cord that has red green and blue rca female plugs on it. I hooked up a standard yellow, red & white rca cable 2 it & matched blue to yellow 4 video, red to red & green to white. My tv has yellow, red & white rca inputs. So I connected the opposite ends of the rca cable to my tv. I am getting video perfectly fine when I do a dual display / extended desktop from my computer to my t.v. I'm not getting any sound on my t.v., but I'm getting sound on my computer. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

    The S-video is only for video. You need to get a cord that plugs into your audio out and plugs into the RCA inputs on your TV. The three plugs on S-video out are just different types of the same thing.

    There is such a component/composite variant S-video cable in some of the NVidia GeForce products.

    1 - Ground (all grounds are connected together)

    2 - Ground

    3 - Pr (YPbPr) or Red (RGB)

    4 - Y (YPbPr) or Green (RGB)

    5 - Pb (YPbPr) or Blue (RGB) or Composite Video Signal (as a default setting)

    6 - Ground

    7 - Ground

    There is no sound transmitted on the regular S-video or the S-video component/composite cable.
