Xbox 360 sound question (NOT RROD)

MrIamMeMrIamMe Registered User regular
Greetings all I hope this eve finds you well.

My tv served as both computer monitor and xbox 360 device. This was good, and I was happy.

Then the tv died in a power spike and I was sad.

So I bought a Acer p241w 26" monitor for $600 and I was happy.

I hooked up my computer fine, and my xbox has never looked so glorious.

Now the issue is the tv had speakers, and my monitor does not.

Is there a way to output the sound from the xbox to my speakers?

    What AV vables are you using for the video? Most of the cables come with RCA red / white audio adapters which you can use an RCA -> 3.5mm adapter and then use a "gender bender" to convert that male jack to a female jack which you can plug headphones / speakers into.

    So, one of these:

    with one of these plugged in:

    Which will let you plug your computer speakers / some headphones in.

    The official xbox HDMI cable comes with a dongle that goes in the usual A/V output on the back of the console which has the connections for RCA and the SPDIF optical out. I'm not sure if you can buy the adapter seperately.

    Read the paragraphs under the heading "Connect a Stereo Audio System with the HDMI Cable" for more info.
