Hello all. I would love some advice on what to do about this issue: I recently purchased a new hard drive tower solely for gaming purposes with the intent to connect it to my LED TV and surround sound system. I did this with Skyrim through my laptop through the HDMI port with no issue at all. First I tried connecting the new tower to the TV through the HDMI port and I did not get a picture, next I connected it to the TV through the VGA port with a supplied adapter and was able to get a great picture but zero sound. I tried using my friend's Bose sound system which he uses with his PC and still no sound. I also tried just using the TV speakers (without the surround system) and nothing. Next I tried using Auxillary cables to connect to the TV...no sound. Can someone please offer any insight on this issue? Needless to say, it's very frustrating. Thanks!

VGA doen't transmit sound.
HDMI does

I realize that,but any idea why the HDMI is not working? I'm not getting a picture when I try to connect it.

1. What the heck's a hard drive tower?

2. You may be on the wrong input channel on your Reciever box/TV to get HDMI working.

3. Your system may not be set up to get sound over HDMI working for straight HDMI to HDMI.
