cant watch cpu movies on my tv

[popwar]

i got my videos to work with my s-video cable but im wondering if i should hear the movie sound from my computer on my tv or not because i dont.

Do you have a tuner card?

[popwar]

no

You're running the S-Video cable from a graphics card?

[popwar]

yea. my radeon 9250. i can see the desktop and everything else fine on my tv just not movies.

Turn your computer's screen resolution to 800 x 600 and see what happens.

didnt help. and i cant turn resolution up cuz i got 15" lcd highest res is 1024

Svideo is video only, no sound.
You will need something like this to hook up the sound: (3.5mm jack to rca)


Or you could just use your computer speakers.

reason y it doesnt show picture for ur video is cos u have to set it as a 2nd screen not a clone of ur 1st screen, it cant output the video to both (well i havnt been able to with any of my graphics cards) cant remember how to set it so its not a clone try the advanced tab something might pop up or check the ati catalyst program for it.

and as for sound u need to have a wire going from eather ur speakers or motherboard/sound card like the 1 rossco posted.

ok. and i fixed the screen thing. i had to problem with the desktop and seeing everything else. i had to switch to high quality mode instead of overlay mode on windows media player
