Solved! HDMI to LCD, and Optical out to LCD - NO SOUND asap tournament soon!

[illumm]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to hear my games through my TV instead of wearing headphones all the time, and I have a tourney tonight.

This is what I did pretty much:

-HDMI cable from my PC tower to my LG LCD screen, video working
-Fiber Optic Cable from my PC tower to my LG screen.
-Set my computer to SPDIF OUT Auzentech x-fi forte (sound card), I even tried setting my computers default to Digital Audio (S/PDIF) High definition Audio Device. Neither work.

I'm out of ideas, do I need a different optical out cable? This one seems to fit perfectly.
Also I can't find any setting on my LCD screen that say optical out, I did how ever set one of it's inputs to PC. Still nothing

Thanks!

The optical connection on your TV is probably an audio output not an input. It would not be associated with an HDMI input in any case. Your PC input is probably VGA and would have an audio input associated with it (analog most likely but that would work).
