Uh... VGA cable... and audio... VGA is a video only connection, so you'll need some sort of external speakers. If you only have composite cables for the audio, or jacks (Red and White), then you may need to buy two adapters to change that to an 8mm(?) audio jack.

if your are talking about your xbox360 and you want to connect your 360 by vga and your monitor hasnt got audi in/outputs I guess you have to do the same as I did. You needa buy some cheap (or more expensive if you'd like) 2:1 or 5:1 speakerset that allows the stereojacket or Auxillery slots.

succes:)

Are you using the monitor as your computer monitor also or is it being used exclusively for the 360?

I am using the pc monitor for my computer and im trying to set it up for my 360 also. Ill just have to switch the cables every time i want to use the pc and 360. But, I all I have to buy is some seperate speakers with a audio input, That I plug into the wall. And then put the audio cord that comes off the vga cable and im set?

You don't need to by new speakers. You should invest in a KVM/audio switch. You will not have to switch cables or anything. They are also self sensing so they recognize which input is on and which is off. Here's a link! Don't make you setup complicated. Get the simple solution!
