Hello crihstyma

We can only help you with SoundSpectrum products. I would suggest your local electrical / electronics store would be your best bet.

Most people have a HDMI or HDMI mini jack on their video cards or even motherboard. If you do not have one of those then you should at least have a DVI-D or DVI-I. So you would need a DVI-HDMI cable. If however your video card has neither hdmi or hdmi mini chances are its not going to pass through the audio so you will need a second cable to output the audio to your TV or AV amp.

Unless that is really a ancient PC though you really should at least have a HDMI-Mini with ability to handle the audio. I see this even on cheap laptops.

You can get a display port to HDMI but a much cheaper option would be a a DVI to HDMI cable. Newer graphics cards pass audio through the DVI port for use with TVs over HDMI.
