Err, what?

As in, what question are you actually asking? Only component video doesn't carry any audio.

And optical doesn't carry any video...

Well, yes, but I'd kind of hoped that much was obvious, I've heard a few people in the past ask why they're not getting any sound through their component video connections, I've never seen anyone asking why they weren't getting a picture through an optical cable though.
