I alright i just hooked up the xbox 360 to my moniter and for the audio i do have the 2 to 1 cord ( i think RCA) and i can't find where to plug it. Only place that works as of now is my moniter but it's speakers are very quite so i can barely hear a thing. How can i fix it so i hear it out of my speakers. My case is a CM690 and my moniter is a Asus VW224

What kind of speakers do you have? Are they connected to your PC now?

When you say you have the "2 to 1" are you referring to something like this?

The problem is probably the headphone jack on your speakers is an output rather than an input. If that's the case, then what you can do instead is plug your Xbox into the line-in jack on your computer's sound card. Only drawback is you'll need the computer to be on in order for you to get sound, but I've done this before and it works great.

Otherwise, you can get a splitter to combine the output from the PC with the output from the 360.

Yeah, same idea. Plug the 1/8" headphone (that's the small end) into the Line In on your PC. That port may be on the case or on the sound card on the back. It's often redish or pinkish. Once that's done you may need to turn up the volume on your line-in jack using the windows sound mixer, but it's a good way to go because you can set the volume for the PC and the 360 independently.

That's the problem. I've tried just about every place i can, i can't find the line in on my case or in the back. I need help locating it, i can't find it. Tried like every insert. And i don't know how to turn up the volume on the line-in jack either. The only options i have are: under playback devices.. ATI DP OUTPUT, speakers, headphones, digistal audio (S/PDIF), Speakers ( Usu PnP sound Device). The first one idk what that is but it says not plugged in.
