I have been connecting my laptop to my TV for a while now. But I have bought a new TV for my room, it was a cheap Acoustic Solutions 22" TV, with built in Freeview and DVD Player.

My laptop has VGA out and audio out (headphone socket), but the TV only has HDMI in and S/PDIF in. I have no experience in HDMI or S/PDIF. Is it possible to connect my laptop using the VGA socket to the HDMI socket, and get the audio out from the laptop into S/PDIF?

Edit; I meant TV in the title, not PC.
