Hello,
S-video is an analogue video signal. S-video cables and ports are only capable of transmitting and receiving video signals.
The Radeon 9800pro graphics card does not have audio support.
Also, how are you trying to hook up your stereo to your PC using an s-video cable??? Does your stereo system have s-video output???
Most stereo systems have RCA jack inputs- left and right phono inputs which is coloured red and white, or red and black...
...It's usually called Aux or Auxillery.

Hello,
Okay now I understand.
You've connected your stereo system to the VCR right? Did you use a phono to phono, or RCA to RCA cable?:
If your VCR does not have RCA inputs, you need to do the following...
You need to use one of these cables:
Connect the 3.5mm end to your soundcard's speaker output on your PC, and then connect the red and white RCA jacks into the audio RCA sockets of a scart adaptor:
...Then plug the scart adaptor into a scart input on the back of the VCR...
Otherwise, if your VCR does have phono inputs (red & white RCA inputs), then you can connect the 3.5mm to RCA directly to the VCR without having to use a scart adaptor.
So, you have your PC's soundcard connected to one of the VCR's SCART sockets, and your VCR connected to your stereo system.
However, the success of this setup and method depends on whether your VCR permits you to input and output audio in this manner. Many VCRs (like my Panasonic VCRs I have) allow me to create this setup. Also, some VCRs require the VCR to be on and one of AV channels (scart channels) to be selected in order for audio to be inputted and outputted this way. Unfortunately, some VCRs do no support this setup.

i dont have the headphone jack with the red and white cables attached and my vcr doesnt have a place for the scart adapter... what i did was s-video from my comp to the vcr then the red and white jacks from the vcr into the stereo
my vcr does have 2 lines for the rca too so i can go in and back out with the rca

Hello,
I understand. As I said ealier, s-video is an analoge video signal. It is not capable of transmitting audio. In addition, your graphics card is not capable of outputting audio.
So it will not work. Unfortunately, the method I proposed also will not work since your VCR does not have scart sockets.
Does your VCR have phono inputs (red and white RCA sockets)?
Otherwise, you'd have to connect your PC's soundcard directly to your stereo system using a 3.5mm to RCA stereo cable:
