Sound waves can travel only when there is a medium. Medium means air, solid, liquid etc., and can't travel without a medium. But light can travel through vaccum (vaccum is not a medium) also. So these are two different types of waves. Here question should be regarding medium but not light. If light is travelling in any of these two mediums (liquid, air) obviously sound can be transmitted through it. But sound cannot be tranmitted when light is travelling through vaccum since sound cannot travel without a medium

Well it is verymuch possible, you have to modulate the sound with light as carrier, example - connect an Infrarad LED at the out put of an amplifier it will do the modulating. Now it is the receiving part, you need an infrared senser and an amplifier with a speaker at the out put [it is like radio transmission, in radio we are using the radio frequency spectrum where as here we use the visible light spectrum.]

SOUND as the type of energy can only be transfered in three states of matter,in SOLID,LIQUID AND GASEOUS states therefore as light is not either of them then sound can not be transfered through it!

Called Fiber optics. (Toslink is the name brand for it when it comes to home theater application) So the answer is yes very doable.
