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.

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. If you
don't already have a SCART adapter, you should be
able to purchase one from your local electronics store.
You need a SCART adapter with 3 connectors –
2 audio and 1 video. There are different SCART
adapters for composite video and S-video. If you're
not sure which your TV or video recorder supports, see
its manual.
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.
* If your sound card has no
output goes to the video device you connected to.
