... You're kidding me right? You need a standard audio cable. The kind that goes from your speaker to your computer. Nothing fancy. Your TV will almost certainly have a audio port.

Ohh... Sorry for being rude then

. Ok well what you need is a rather standard 3.5mm audio cable. You can get them online or at a Radio Shack or wherever else sells computer stuff. You probably wanna get a long one if you're DC and your TV are far apart (of course

)

. Come to think of it would you know of a way to get one cheaper than 20 dollars (eBay has them 20 dollars)

You might also wanna check your local Wal-Mart for a 3.5mm cable.

"Save up"? I could buy a Dingoo (and likely will) for the price of a official VGA box. How 'shit' are the third party ones? I thought my Madcatz lightgun was good.
