Hi fellow forum members.
I hope someone can solve this for me.
My understanding was that s-video does not carry sound, but I see a number of 7 pin s-video to 3 plug RCA converters (red/white/yellow).
Does this mean that sound is supported?
My HP Pavilion DV9000 has a 7 pin s-video outlet and the cable I have is a 7 pin going to a 4 pin and a single yellow RCA plug.
My TV has a 4 pin socket so I get picture on TV but the yellow RCA plug seems to do nothing (does not give picture or sound)so what is its purpose?
I can get sound by feeding line-out to the TV RCA audio plugs.
Will be grateful for any info on this.
Thanks in advance.

Those three plug converters are probably for RGB(component) cables. S-video does not carry an audio signal.
