You didn't say what kind of cable you used for the connection, but unless it's HDMI, it carries only video, not sound. You need to add a separate cable for audio. Radio Shack and other stores carry adapter cables with a 1/ 8 " stereo plug at one end and two RCA plugs at the other end. Plug the 1/ 8 " plug into the speaker jack on your computer (usually a light green jack on PCs) and plug the other end into your TV's audio in jacks, whichever ones correspond to the input you're using. If you're using a VGA cable and your TV doesn't have audio inputs to go with that input, you might just have to use your computer's speakers.

What kind of cord are you using? If you are not using a HDMI cord you probably need a 3.5mm to rca cable. One end should go to your headphone port on your laptop or computer the other end to your audio ports on the tv. The first link tells you about the different ways to connect. The second link takes to you to what type of cord you need. geekwithlaptop.com/ how-to-connect-laptop-to-tv amazon.com/ RiteAV-3-5mm-Stereo-Male-Cable/ dp/ B000V0G2C4/ ref= sr_1_16?ie= UTF8 &s= electronics &qid= 1268077903 &sr= 1-16

If you didn't use the HDMI cable you would not get any sound. What cable are you using to connect you computer to the tv. Hope that you are at less seating 12 feet away from the tv.
