VGA doesn't transmit audio, only video. It is different from HDMI which does transmit both video and audio. Usually, old TV with VGA input have also a audio input for audio jack 3.5 cables. Look for audio jacks 3.5 cables to see what I mean. There is a tendency now days to try to disappear audio jacks 3.5 input-outputs from laptops and mobiles devices which I really don't like, hopefully is not your case on your computer, if it is there might be other options for your device to get and audio output. Usually this audio output is used to have earphones on.

Now I understand, I mostly used DisplayPort|DVI|RCA cables for connecting to old Displays & Devices, but you don't need explains my how 3,5 mm jack works, because I use jack since 2011, very rare I am using something with Bluetooth.
Jack on this TV is broken, so I think I will still use External Sound Adapter from laptop for audio.
