    You will have to see if your TV has analog audio inputs. Typically they would be a 3.5mm mini stereo jack, or more likely dual RCA style inputs (red/white). You would tap into your headphone output on your notebook, so depending on your TV's input you'll need a stereo 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable like this, or a 3.5mm stereo to dual RCA cable like this. Note that the Monoprice links are for reference only, so feel free to buy from wherever you want. Note that if you go to straight up retail shops like Best Buy, you may be in for some sticker shock.

    BTW, if you give us your exact model number for your Sony Bravia, maybe we can pinpoint the exact cable.
