Yeah you are missing something. The Mini-DVI doesn't carry sound. You have yo use another cable for sound.

My guess would be that you have the audio and video cables plugged into two different ports on the TV. The audio has to be plugged into the same port # as the video cable. ex. If the video is in Aux 1, the audio also must be in Aux 1.

Also check System Preferences / Sound and verify that the Output has changed to Headphones.
