Re: Connecting computer to TV & Stereo?

This is correct.  S-video is video only (hence, the name).  If you have a
line-out jack that would be better than a headphone jack.

If I remember correctly, s-Video is only the video feed.  You have to take
the sound separately.  I have a cable (from Radio shack or Walmart) that
plugs in to the headphone jack on my laptop, then has RCA right and left
jacks for my stereo or TV.

That works best for me.
