    sounds like you have the wrong cable. I did a google search and one of the main sites that sell cable make a point of:

    "Pro S-Video plus Audio Cables that provide you with COLOR Video and Stereo Audio. We provide free technical support to our customers."

    my reference page is:
    http://www.svideo.com/sv3rca.html

    NOTE: I am not saying buy any thing from these guys. I am just using that page to show you.

    I have that pro s-video cable from svideo.com, and it works great. IT has all 3 RCA plugs for decent picture and surround sound, and it has an svideo cable which also has a speaker wire joined with it to plug into your card. I bought it because it seemed to be the best cable with 24 ft length, and yeah it seems to be just that.
