sorry, just notice my mistake. the VGA port on your laptop is a 15-PIN D-SUB. you can get the cable for a 15-PIN to DVI.
to get the sound from your laptop to the TV speakers, get a 3.5 jack both ends. one end to the laptop headphone and the other end to the TV line in.

VGA = analogue.
DVI and HDMI are digital.
You can't connect VGA to HDMI.
HDMI = DVI + sound.
DVI connecter also has VGA which is why you can use an adaptor on it to a VGA monitor.
Laptops with DVI are rare I think.
