I think what you need to do is locate the output on the computer which
is usually a small stereo jack and link that to the TV using a similar
jack or maybe two RCA (Phono) sockets which will be marked red (Right)
and white (Left). Get a cable to suit the TV connections.

With normal TV the sound and picture signals are delivered together via
the coaxial cable but the quality is far better if they are kept
separated once the signal is received - so for a genuine "TV" signal the
TV itself splits them up, on a DVD they are already "Split up" so to
speak and recombining them would cost you quality.
