Hello, i have a question. I recently bought a LG hd tv, and a samsung cinema system. Can i listen to my tv on the samsung system by connecting it with a optical digital audio cable? These are also called TOSLINK cable's.

Thanks a lot

You can but it would be better to take the audio off of your cable or satellite box.

Ok thanks. And one more question, i have my computer connected to the tv using a vga cable. However i can't listen to audio on the speakers. Could i buy a headphone jack to headphone jack cable and connect the two using that or will that not work?
Thanks!

What you will need I think is a 3.5 mm headphone to RCA (red/white) similar to this:

If you have extra inputs to the Samsung HTiB then run this cable to one of the aux inputs, if not run this to the TV.
