It also features an additional 3.5mm stereo lead allowing you to receive audio as well as the VGA signal. Please be aware that this cable is directional and so will only connect from a HDMI source to a VGA display. Source connection: HDMI (Male) Display connection: VGA (Male) and 3.5mm Stereo (Male) Maximum resolution: 1920x1080 @ 60Hz Gold plated connectors with Aux 3.5mm stereo cable (connects to Aux input on TV) Need a converter to convert from VGA source to a HDMI screen?

The Kenable HDMI to SVGA with Audio Cable is designed for users who need to connect a modern HDMI output from a desktop PC or laptop to an older VGA display. Its key benefit is providing both video and audio signal conversion in a single, directional cable. A key caveat is that it only works from an HDMI source to a VGA display, not the other way around.

FAQs
Can this cable convert VGA to HDMI?
No, this cable is strictly directional and only converts HDMI signals to VGA signals. For VGA to HDMI conversion, a different type of adapter or converter is required.
What is the maximum resolution supported?
The cable supports a maximum resolution of 1920x1080 pixels at a 60Hz refresh rate.
Do I need a separate audio cable?
No, this cable includes an integrated 3.5mm stereo audio lead, so no separate audio cable is needed if your display or speakers have a compatible audio input.
What devices can I connect using this cable?
You can connect devices with an HDMI output (like a PC or laptop) to devices with a VGA input and a 3.5mm audio input (like an older monitor or projector).
How do I select the audio output device on my computer?
Typically, you can right-click the speaker icon in your system tray (Windows) or go to Sound Preferences (macOS) to select the appropriate audio output device, which might be listed as related to your HDMI or display connection.
Are the connectors gold plated?
Yes, the cable features gold-plated connectors for enhanced durability and signal quality.
Troubleshooting
No video signal on VGA display
Verify the HDMI source is outputting video and the VGA display is set to the correct input. Ensure the cable is firmly connected at both ends. Confirm the cable is connected in the correct direction (HDMI to VGA).
No audio output
Check that the 3.5mm stereo plug is securely connected to the audio input of the display or speakers. Go to your computer's sound settings and ensure the HDMI output is selected as the audio playback device, or the correct audio output for the connected speakers is chosen.
Flickering or distorted video
Ensure the VGA cable is not damaged and the connectors are clean. Try a lower resolution if the current one is unstable (e.g., 1280x720 instead of 1920x1080). Check for interference from other electronic devices.
Display shows 'Input Not Supported'
The display may not support the resolution being sent from the HDMI source. Try reducing the screen resolution on your computer to a more common standard like 1024x768 or 1280x720.
