Usually the region isn't set properly for your TV out. NTSC is the US standard, PAL and Secam are 2 of a couple choices for across the big pond. Not sure which standard for down under.

As far as the sound issue goes, sound isn't transferred from your video card via Svideo you need to patch the audio from your sound card to your television.

i have almost the same setup. i go from s-video OUT (geforce4 MX 440) to s-video IN (tv). sound is patched from the soundcard to my stereo. i suggest you install nvidia nview. this software will give you more options on configuring a second display. (have your standard monitor hooked up too).
another tip is that you try ALL your tv's AV channels. i've had a similar problem due to the wrong choice of AV channel.
currently my stand-alone DVD/DIVX pc runs fine on tv.
let us know if these tips lead to anything... .

Yes, your sound card drivers and the codecs used are not compatable. You can find drivers for the sound card at the manufacturers websight.
