    You really need a newer Mac Mini with a true HDMI output, because that Mac Mini's DVI output does not support Audio.

     

    You might try a 3.5mm to RCA adapter

    from the Mac Mini's headphone jack to the TV's audio input,

    but that would require being able to select the Audio input in the TVs menu while using it's HDMI input.

     

     

    Optionally you could also use an external 2.1 Speaker System or patch the audio from the Mac Mini to your home stereo system to enhance that older Mac Mini's audio.
