Pc audio to element tv - Element ELCHW402 40 in. LCD HDTV

Your TV's Component 1 and 2 (and the Composite 1 and 2) RCA ports are video and audio inputs. They do not connect to the sound bar audio input. Based on the image here, https://www.manualslib.com/manual/509607/Element-Eldft404.html?page=8#manual , your TV has a coaxial digital Audio Out.

You need a converter to connect the TV to the sound bar. A coaxial to optical digital audio converter is here: https://www.amazon.com/C2G-40018-Coaxial-Converter-Compliant/dp/B0002J2MV4 . There are also many digital audio to analog converters available, https://www.amazon.com/DA-Converters/b?ie=UTF8&node=3224445011 . Some of these support both coaxial and optical digital audio to analog. Note: many of these do not come with the audio cables. You have to purchase them separately.

I hope this helps.

Connecting laptop VGA port to HDMI port on a TV
VGA to HDMI converter is required to connect a laptop to a TV with HDMI input. The VGA signal does not have an audio component. You need to connect an audio cable from the audio/headphone port on your laptop to the audio connector on your TV. There are HDMI converters with Audio input so you do not need to connect an audio cable to the TV. The audio is connected to the HDMI converter and then passes the audio with the video data to the HDMI cable to HDMI port on the TV. Check out these WEB site for these HDMI converters. http://www.aten.com/products/productItem.php?model_no=vc180 http://www.sybausa.com/productInfo.php?iid=1174 http://www.topbuy.com.au/tbcart/pc/Audio-VGA-to-HDMI-Video-Converter-Box-HD-HDTV1080P-p164633.htm

Hi,

Yes you can - but not with a USB cable. USB is only for data (file) transfer.

What you are attempting to do is use your TV as a PC monitor, therefore it needs to be connected to your TV using a PC monitor cable (15-pin D-SUB/VGA). You will also need a separate audio cable from your PC to your TV if you want to use the TV speakers for audio. If you are using a receiver or amplifier with external speakers, you can connect the audio out from the PC directly to the amplifier/receiver.

It is also possible to connect the PC to the TV with an HDMI cable if your PC has an HDMI out port. However, some TVs wont accept an HDMI signal from a PC and this method of connection can cause other issues, so I would recommend using the PC monitor cable method.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

What other device are you connecting to your tv and how are you connecting it?

If you connect via a single HDMI cable that may be causing your audio problem. Some Tv and STB have handshacking issues which can knock out audio and/or video. The only solution would be to replace the HDMI cable or switch to composite cables.

Good luck!

The backlight inverter board may be going out, or bad capacitors in the power supply.

Try hooking up the powered PC speakers to the Audio line output RCA jacks, if the sound does not cut out, then the problem is in the power amp sections that drive the speakers, it may be over heating and shut itself off, most Class D amplifier are used in the flat screen TV will shutdown if it is over heating or short circuits.

If there is it would be the "rca" cable that has a red and a white marking, and it would say "out" on it or "audio out" Some TV do not have an audio output so you maybe right.

I went over the Manual for your TV, Sadly, it doesn't have a port for headset. It only has one audio output port for the stereo system call Digital audio out. The port on the back of the TV has a one for the size of a headset jack. But, it's only for the PC audio in port.

I wish there was some other way to hook up the headset for your son. But, the only option I see is to take the TV back and get one that has the headset port.
Sorry I couldn't help you out more. :(

Press the Blue function key and toggle the screens. You can view, the Laptop, the Laptop and Screen, or just the screen.

Also you will need to flick through the channel button on the TV to get to the PC interface. Since you indicated you were using a VGA cable, this is likely the missing element.

Note: The VGA cable does not carry audio, you either had a separate audio interface to the TV or you were using RBG/Composite/S-Video/HDMI. So check to make sure you are using the correct cables.

Send the set back for service.

The power supply most likely failed, or another circuit board has failed and the set is in the protect mode.

I would consider to see if the dealer would exchange the set for a well known quality brand name set and pay the difference.
