scart tv socket audio

It is even possible to wire directly from a 15 pin vga connector to a scart plug then you could also split the cable and add audio as well.

I saw this done once a long time ago but never used it so didn't save the link so you could possibly find it by using google.

I do remember you had to use a tool like atitool however to adjust the display output

thats what i plan to do is "tap" into the scart audio.

i am going to add a vol pot to the audio lead going into the  scart, if it all sounds like pants then i will add speaker system

Your welcome, anytime  ::)

I've done this a few times.

Some of the previous posters have provided misleading information.

You need to use the audio input pins on the scart connector to provide audio through your TV speakers.  SCART also provides audio & video outputs, so that you can link multiple monitors in series.  However, most of us here won't be using that capability.

Use these pins:

2   AUDIO Input Right
4   AUDIO Ground
6   AUDIO Input Left

You can probably just use an old PC speaker cable with 3.5mm jack for the hack.  If you don't have one of those handy, you can buy a cable pretty cheaply eg with RCA plugs on the end.  cut off the ends.  The coloured wires (often red and white, but maybe something else) are the left and right channels.  The other wires (usually black or not sheathed at all, perhaps surrounding the other two wires) are the ground.

If you want to add a volume pot, look here for my guide (WIP):

BTW - that composite->SCART video adapter dongle shown earlier won't work unless you are already providing composite output from your PC.
