Which cable do your need to connect smartphone to TV to hear songs

Solution
There's a "simple solution", you can find TV SCART adapters/extensions that have RCA plugs and with a 3.5mm jack adapter you can connect to the audio input (you should have two audio cables, right and left channel, and one for video) and that way you can keep the TV signal on one of the SCART extensions and have the input audio from the headphones output on the smartphone...with the "right tools" it shouldn't be hard to set (better, only if you have a TV/Monitor already with multiple inputs/outputs).

But in these days, almost all TVs already have wi-fi (or IR, infra-red) technologies and that makes all too easy to setup, specially with a Android Smartphone that have tons of apps to connect via "direct wi-fi"...

your tv would need to have an audio input to connect it by cable. your headphone 3.5mmm jack would be the output you'd use and then whatever input your tv had has to be the other end.

without knowing the phone/tv models and what inuts/outputs are available, we really can't say more. a nice $10-20 bluetooth speaker would be a much easier solution to share the music with the house.

i even bought a little bullet speaker from 5 and below that worked rather well and was only $5.
 
Many TVs won't let you access an AV input if there is no video present so you would need to get a video output from something else. Most TVs have pretty lousy sound so I also suggest a bluetooth or wired self powered speaker set up. You can also connect a phone to any old school stereo with an aux input so check out any local thrift stores of Craigslist. Worth whatever you spend on it.
