I have a cable that looks like the one you suggested (scart to red, white, yellow). I have plugged the scart into the VCR port at the back of the Samsung Virgin box and I have connected the red and white cables to the 2 matching audio inputs that sit next to my DVI socket on the back of the TV.

I then go into Virgin's setup menu, to the adjust audio and visual settings and switch to HDMI, which gives me a picture (no audio).

I have tried selecting override HDMI audio, but nothing changes (still no sound).

The cable I am using is a monster cable. I have also tried the exact same procedure with a cable that has red, white and yellow on each end of the wire, and plugging one end into my x-box scart converter - still no audio.

I am sure it is a simple matter, and that I am doing something very basic wrong, but I have spend 2 hours now and am getting a little frustrated.

I really appreciate your help.

Thanks in advance,

Dan

I've found the TV manual and I agree you are using the right sockets. A couple of possibilities... Firstly, maybe the cable is wired as a SCART input cable, not an output. The one I posted the link to has a switch so you can use it either way round. The other possibility is that the volume is turned down or muted on the V+ box. Could you temporarily use a SCART-SCART lead just to confirm you are getting sound out of the V+?

By the way, you posted this in a TiVo thread, but I assume you have a Samsung V+ box. Perhaps a passing mod could split it into its own thread?
