S-Video contains only Video, there is no audio in the signals.

You would need a 3.5mm stereo to 2 x RCA jacks cable, from the "Line Out" (Speaker socket) on the PC to the AV L and R audio in on the TV.

In other words, the audio comes from your sound card at "line level" into the TV TCA AV Audio jacks.

The cables are very common and not expensive...
