    Laptop sound to home theater through TV not working

    Yes, that's exactly how it worked when I had the other cable to try. :) Thanks again... and I should have known the 'Pick as the solution' button would do the trick. You get high marks in my book, my friend. I know, as you mentioned, it really was a simple thing, but let me tell you, I spent...

    Laptop sound to home theater through TV not working

    Hey, I have good news. :) I didn't have another cable to test it out with, so I borrowed one from my brother as a test. I didn't want to buy another 12' cable if that wasn't the issue. We tested it out this evening... it WAS the cable after all that! lol Geez... So this morning, the Best Buy...

    Laptop sound to home theater through TV not working

    Okay, first off, let me specify that I had this working at one time for video gaming but I don't know what has happened to make it stop working.
