I sitting at our summer house with limited TV choices before our "cable" service is renewed. 
So, having gotten a "new" (well at least larger) Plasma (and TV display through the SCART connection from our cable provider- Hyundai PD421) screen with gazillions of ports to connect to stuff I thought of running Netflix through my laptop (HP Probook 4530s) and Fedora using a VGA cable. (Yes I know ... Chromecast/phone combo).

Viewing Netflix this way works nicely but then my son complained that sound is coming from the laptop, not the speakers connected to the Hyundai screen. I guess this has to do with the computer not recognizing the speakers because it connected through VGA? There is a HDMI port on the lappy but not on the Hyundai screen. Is there a way to get Fedora to pick up the speakers attached to the screen?

Hmm, maybe the simplest way is to get Chromecast to work with Fedora?
