laptop to tv

I was able to hook up the laptop and tv with S video but I can't get the audio. I have tried two different sets of "y" cables without any results. Any suggestions?

JLynn958,
Try plugging a headphone jack into your laptop, cutting one end and joining it to the audio cord that is going to your Television. That should carry the sound to, and through the TV. As far as I know, the s-video is for video only. I currently have a problem with the s-video on my laptop. When hooked to the tv the (tv) screen is rolling vertically quite fast. But anyway, I hope my suggestion helps. It should work. If it does get some electrical tape and tape the headphone wire to the audio/video wire in which you are using for sound to your tv.
