I play using an HDMI cable and I also have a pair of turtle beaches and I was wondering if its possible to use them both at the same time.

How would video cables that hook up to the TV and headsets that hook up to your controller interfere with each other... o_0

No you can't really. If you have a TV that has a headphone jack, just get a male to male 3.5 mm cord that will plug into your Turtle Beach transmitter box. If there is no headphone jack you have to use both the HDMI and the composite cables at once. That messes with the handshake though.

The official MS HDMI cable comes with an adapter that plugs into the port for analogue video. Use this for your headphones while using HDMI.

It has optical for 5.1. I use this with my Turtle Beack X4's.
