You'll need a 1/8" stereo to L/R RCA audio cable, available at your local 
radio shack.  The TV out is only for the video signal, the sound subsystem 
is entirely seperate for playback.  The sound IS in the same file, but it 
plays out your sound card, which you will connect the cable I mentioned to, 
then to your TV or stereo amplifier.
