Getting sound to work on my Xbox

Recommended Posts

Ok, so I just bought some extra cables so that I can plug my Xbox 360 into my PC monitor. It works fine except that I can't work out how to get sound working. There are integrated speakers in my monitor, I also have a set of USB speakers as well. It is worth noting that to get the Xbox image on the PC I have to remove the DVI cable for my computer as the way the monitor is built means it doesn't have enough space to fit an adaptor in.

 

 

 

What should I do to rectify the problem? I assumed that it would automatically come from the integrated speakers but I'm not having any luck.

The VGA cable apater box should take the sound and give you a black 3.5mm lead as an output.

 

Post a pic or link to the adapter.

The adapter is just a DVI-VGA adaptor as I have a DVI and VGA slot on my monitor so I wanted to be able to have my PC connected to my monitor as well as my Xbox. At the moment there is a HDMI cable plugged from my Xbox into my monitor, but this doesn't get me sound.

I've never seen these before, but I assume they exist. Y-Audio cables take a AV(Red and White) output and turn it into a single 3.5mm input. I assume that the reverse can be true. I suggest looking for this device. I'm at work right now, so my access is limited.

My xbox is connected to my monitor with a HDMI cable. My monitor has integrated speakers, but there isn't any sound. I have speakers plugged into my desktop but aren't connected to my monitor in any way.

I don't know why it's not working, from my experience with both my computer screens, sound came out, I also use HDMI :S.

 

 

 

Make sure it's plugged all the way in?

Try adjusting your TV through the menu, it'll be something to with HDMI if there is stuff about sound record what it was set at and fiddle, if nothing works set it back to how it was originally (hence writing it down.) Had a similar issue with my TV/monitor not playing sound when I had it set to TV, in the menu I went to TV and adjusted it from PAL to PAL-6 and I got sound. Would be worth a shot ::'
