Perfectly getting audio only when using the Headphone option with a regular audio cable from the desktop to an external audio system (unfortunately no remote control for the external audio system, manually adjusting the audio).
No audio when setting default for Speakers or Realtek Digital Output options, green bars up and down when playing anything on the desktop (Live TV or YT videos) , therefore audio is coming from the desktop computer!
TV speakers working properly when using the Antenna TV channels (OTA channels) so very good audio for the Antenna TV channels, with its own remote control I can easily higher or lower the volume or mute it all together!
And no, I do not have another desktop computer and my laptop does not have the proper audio slots to work with the 3.5mm audio cable and no intention on buying an HDMI-to-HDMI audio cable just to test the audio coming from my laptop onto the RCA ROKU TV!
It's not going to work like you want it, you can't get video from one input while getting the audio from another. No current tv can do that. What you want is an outboard device to collect the vga and 3.5mm audio, then convert it to hdmi. Like the following:
My previous LG TV & computer monitor that lasted 11 years had an 3.5mm audio jack where I easily connected an 3.5mm-to-3.5mm audio cable from the 3.5mm audio jack at the back of my same desktop computer and used its remote control for the audio (video cable is the same one), this RCA TV & computer monitor does not have such 3.5mm audio jack!
Personally, I'm not into spending more money on this very issue, all I wanted is to control the audio coming from the computer with RCA's remote control as the external audio system I'm using to get the computer audio does not have its own remote control!
At the back and very bottom of the RCA Roku TV there are three RCA-type slots, two for audio, Red and White, and one for Video, maybe Yellow, how would you use them in order to get audio coming from the computer?
The entire issue is simply b/c this particular TV set has not been built with a 3.5mm audio jack like my previous LG TV computer monitor where I had no issues getting the video via the current VGA-to-HDMI video cable and audio via a regular 3.5mm-to-3.5mm audio cable so I was able to control the audio with LG TV's remote control!
Now the very last question: is the video quality using this type of cable a) same like using the VGA-to-HDMI video cable which I think is the highest crystal clear video quality or b) lower video quality?
A Roku tv is just that a TV, it is not a computer monitor. Computer monitors have inputs that computers have outputs of plain and simple. I have used a regular tv for internet for over 20 years. First it was used with webtv built-in to my UltimateTV Directv dvr receiver combo. After that I got my first computer that had hdmi output, so it was hooked up to my tv. I am writing this from my recliner looking up at my TCL Roku tv up on the wall. A foot away I have second computer hooked up to real computer monitor, neither computer nor the monitor have sound. So, I'm using Roku Streambar as a computer speaker. I have 3.5mm patch cord going to convertor to change it to optical output, since the Roku Streambar has optical input. Both of my computers only have DisplayPort's, so in each case I use DisplayPort to hdmi cable.
My very last post: I have no choice but to stick with my current audio configuration using my SIRIUSXM boombox aux-in 3.5mm jack as the external audio source -stratus-6-boombox-bundle/6000016950732 (sadly it came with no remote control) as only an idiot will spend more money on a cheap Made-in-China TV set!
