Connect your 360 to your TV using a HDMI cable & sound system at the same ti

I have a HD TV and an LG home theatre system. Previously, I have connected the yellow AV cable to the video section of the TV and the red and white AV cables to the Aux section of the sound system - allowing me to have the audio through the home theatre system but the video through the TV. I have since purchased a HDMI cable, and when using it toconnect to the TV I can't connect my 360 to the home theatre system because it has no HDMI port and the original AV cable doesn't fit in the 360 while the HDMI cable is in there. Does anybody have a way to connect my 360 to the TV using the HDMI cord and the home theatre system at the same time?

yeah I have the RGB cord and I just hooked it up to the comp ports on my TV then. I can see a difference in quality, but is it as good as the HDMI cable?

A: if your t.v has audio output you can run cable from t.v to the stereo .

b: you need microsoft audio output. i bought my hdmi and this as it comes together off ebay for like 8 bucks and works great. .. i knew i needed that output because i have turtle Beach's

c: i heard you can take a knife to your old a.v cords. you know the part where you plugt into the xbox. do to the casing you can't plug this and the hdmi in at once because the a.v is to fat. so i heard poeple pop the casing off them...

i was considering trying this because i have 3 av cables.. lol my av cables broke and i got microsiift send me 3 cables i had to trick them to do so. but i needed the hdmi so i just bought it all in one bid off ebay

Im assuming your surround sound system does not have on optical input? I know it could be a silly question but never mentioned it in the origonal post.

Plug in the Xbox with HDMI into the TV and run an optical audio cable from the TV output to the surround sound system's input. Problem solved. You may want to put the volume at 0 from the TV depending on how it is set up. Some TV's let you control the surround system from the TV's volume setting.
