No Sound from S-Video or Composite Video Connection

Question

I have been struggling with this for 2 hours, now.   I'm trying to set up my Monitor (Dell 2005FPW) as my TV, until I get a chance to purchase a new TV.  I have tried plugging in the Composite Video, but because there is no place to plug in the audio plugs (RCA) there is no sound.  So, I tried the S-Video cable.  Again, I get the video, but not hte sound.  How the heck do I get the sound?   Help!

The monitor has no audio inputs - as you said, S-Video, Composite and Component are video only. You need to connect the audio plugs to amplified speakers. If you have a Dell Soundbar attached to the monitor you can connect them to that using a suitable adapter.
