    vga doesn't carry sound. you need to plug in the headphone port to a set of speakers.

    as been stated before there is no audio in vga cables, that is a seperate cable. need a cable coming from the speaker jack on the laptop to the speaker input on the lcd. again look at the lcd tv manual to see where that jack is.

    all you had to do was do a R.T.F.M.D.(Reading.The F***ing.Manual.Dummy.) & think. my 1st post mentioned what to do.
