Query: D.O.A & audio cable is very short.

I purchased this cable in hopes of using my laptop while connected to my Samsung 40" TV.The TV has a "PC" VGA connector which is easily selectable from the remote.My first surprise was that the audio cable was only about 12 inches long. I needed one to be about 2 feet long in order to reach the audio output on the front right of my laptop. I carefully connected the cable to the TV and the laptop. The screw knobs were very short and did not have a screw driver slot. I fired up the computer and put the TV to the "PC" source. Nothing showed on the screen. I checked connectors on both ends for bent pins. The cable looked fine and was properly secured but provided no signal from the laptop. I borrowed a different brand of cable from a friend and it worked perfectly. I am returning the cable tomorrow and purchasing a different brand with a longer audio cable.
