The audio you will need to hook up from audio OUT (PC) to audio IN (TV). I think you'll need a small male 1/8 jack to 2 RCA jacks.

Like this

Now the Monitor/TV i'm unsure of, but most likely you can hook them both up, but only one will work at a time. They both cannot be powered on. Me thinks you have the turn the monitor power off, then turn the TV power on and vice versa for them to work independantly.


Am I making sense?

The audio is the problem as the out jack is being used by 5.1 system. It is the green one.

I believe that you should be able to run both the monitor and plasma screen simultainusly if your video card has two outputs. I can do it with my 8800GT.

And I think you should also be able to run two "green" jacks off the sound card and not need a splitter. Like on the last two sound cards I've had when ever I plug something into the one of six audio jacks it asks me what I plugged in. So if I use my TV and speakers I tell it that the first two I plug in are front speakers and that the two others are center/sub and rear speakers.

Ahhh, so get a 1/8 "Y" splitter like this one. Plug the splitter in the Green output and you'll have 2 outputs. One of which will go to the TV.
