Is there a way to connect your sound card to your tv so the sound comes out of the tv speakers. So when i use my tv as my monitor i get sound from my tv instead of my computer speakers. It seems i would need an adapter or cord that has a normal headphone jack on one end and an rca plug on the other.

That adapter you mentioned would work fine. It's available at Radio Shack.

The adapter has TWO RCA jacks, a left and right. If you have a non-stereo TV, I think you use the left one. It is avalable as either a solid adapter or as a 3 foot cable. The cable is easier to use. Too much cable length will result in an unacceptable loss of sound quality.
