Typically, the sound output from a computer
comes from speakers connected to your
sound card. If you prefer, you can hear or
record the sound output from your computer
using the same TV or video recorder you
connect to your graphics card. To do this,
you need an audio cable with a stereo jack
on one end and two RCA connectors on the
other end. If you don't have this type of
cable, you can buy one at most consumer
electronics stores.
a Plug the stereo-jack end of the audio
cable into the
your sound card.
b Plug the other end of the cable into the

connectors of your video device. For
more information, see your sound card
manual.

SCART adapter

Some video devices in Europe only have SCART
connectors. This type of connector includes video
and audio, whereas composite video or S-video
connectors include only video.
If your TV or video recorder only uses a SCART
connector, you need a SCART cable adapter to
connect your computer to that TV or video recorder.
You need a SCART adapter that has at least 2 or 3
connectors – 1 video and 1 or 2 audio. The video
connector has to be either composite or S-video. If
you don't already have this type of adapter, it should
be available at your local electronics store. To find
out if your TV or your video recorder supports
composite or S-video, see its documentation.
To use a SCART adapter, connect the SCART end of the adapter to your TV or video recorder, then
connect the other end to your Matrox TV adapter and sound card.
