Right.

How was the frontend connected to the old tv ?

Connecting the red/white cinch of the tv to the the 'line-out' port of 
the soundcard should work.

That's how it works with my setup ("old" Samsung plasma tv).

If I remember well, I had to plug the "DVI-cable" (with HDMI-adapter of 
course) to a specific HDMI-input of the tv, in order to have sound. May 
be something similar must be done with your tv, or at least enable the 
sount input.
