Red and white is stereo sound, but digital optical gives real 5.1 surround sound. No need for the red and white

Red and White only gives 2 channels of audio. If you want 5.1 you will have to use the toslink optical out plug, or if you have a newer 360 I believe you can get 5.1 over HDMI (please correct me if I'm wrong).
