Xbox 360 sound not working

So, this is odd. The sound on my 360 is simply not working. It's not the TV, as my Wii and other stuff still comes through the speakers. I tried reseating the HDMI cable, and even plugging it into another port, to no avail.

There's no scratchiness when I move the cable, and the video's crystal clear. Anyone know what could be causing this?

    Sounds like a cable problem (stupid answer).

    More useful suggestion: see if you don't still have the AVI/Component cable that came with your Xbox 360 (basically, the non-HDMI) option and make sure that your sound output isn't totally dead. HDMI cables, like everything else in the universe, fail every so often.

    OK, that did it. I had forgotten that I had those cables buried back somewhere. Audio's working, and the picture's back, albeit somewhat less sharp than before.

    Suppose I'll have to get a new HDMI cable now. Thanks, though, now I can get back to playing.

    Happy to hear it wasn't your Xbox 360.

    Honestly, at 1080p, I cannot tell the different between HDMI and Component. Which is good, because my launch 360 has no HDMI out (I tested using a friend's console). Then again, HDMI cables can be had for $6, so no loss there.
