thks for info, noticed that the tv sound is not that great. will grab a set of those cables asap, thsk :)
 
some t.v's have an audio input with their hdmi connection.....just incase sound isnt coming from the same source...then you just connect a jack plug from your sound cards audio output to that audio input on the t.v.

easy way would be to connect the jack plug to the rear channel speakers on your sound card and you can leave it there without ever losing sound on your pc speakers.
