Connect my PC to Samsung UA40c5000 to listen to music

According to Samsung's web-site, that set has a PC audio in (using 3.5mm jack) which would be the normal direct connection from PC to the TV though it might not work without the D-sub or DVI video connection - this would give you video effects from the PC player.

The RCA audio input might work for the AV composite input, though this might not be detected without a video input.

Another alternative would be to use the DLNA facility, if the TV is connected to your network; or else just connect a LAN cable between the PC and TV and set manual network addresses.

Noeyedeer,

There is a way to do this on U.S. models, and I imagine it should work, although it's a bit unorthodox, and definitely an unofficial workaround of sorts.

The PC port will not work unless there's a PC signal going in the port. I've tested that myself and know that there's not a way to do that.

However, one of you HDMI ports should also have HDMI/DVI listed. If you plug a 3.5mm into your music source (radio, mp3, etc) and Edit the Name of your input to "DVI Device" or "DVI", you'll still get the TV picture, but the audio channel will switch to the audio input.

To Edit the Name of the input, you can go to:

MENU > INPUT > HDMI-1 (if that's the HDMI/DVI port) > Change "----" to "DVI Device" or "DVI" and your audio should come through.

Again, the downside is that you'll still have video, and you'll have to change it back to get the audio that normally comes through your HDMI port, but that's the only way I know of getting music to come through. You might turn on the Discovery Channel while listening to your music.

I've tried to do this, and that's the best solution I can offer. A better solution might be to get a small bookshelf system that you can hook up your TV and music device to, and then just switch it as needed. In my opinion, it would be much less trouble to find a small inexpensive system that has an audio input for the TV, and an Aux input for your music system. If the system is nice enough, you may get better sound from that than the television speakers, which is a win-win both ways.

Does that help?
