I'm assuming I would connect the rca audio cable to my sound card? headphone output?

your title say S-Video to HDMI but you linked a VGA w/sound cable....

your PC I would assume has the VGA port but does your TV?

On the PC end the Audio cable would plug into the light-green audio out where your normal speakers plug into... on the TV the end would plug into the Audio IN...if there is one...

What make and model TV do you have?

I read the only way to do it and be sure for it to work is to buy a converter that costs about $150...
now I realize the 15 pin vga with audio is the best way to go (less than $10)...
s-video to HDMI is like trying to put a model A engine in a 2010 pickup !!!

cables are on their way...
