A user connects a laptop to a conference room audiovisual system using a VGA cable. The TV displays the image correctly, but the audio is not working. Which of the following will most likely resolve the issue?
Correct Answer: C
VGA (Video Graphics Array) cables transmit analog video signals only and do not carry audio signals. When a user connects a laptop to an audiovisual system using a VGA cable, the lack of audio is due to VGA's inability to transmit sound. Switching to an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cable, which supports both audio and video signals, will most likely resolve the issue by enabling the transmission of sound to the audiovisual system alongside the video.
