S-Video is video only. You need a separate cable for audio to the TV. TV end will be RCA Red/White. Camcorder end varies. See manual.

There should be a mini audio out jack on the iMac probably being used for speakers. Use that jack and connect to RCA Red/Wht at the TV.

You didn't identify your TV as having digital audio in, so you need a cable with these connectors. A Radio Shack will have them at various lengths. Online search will be less expensive.
