I'm also using it. Mine came with an adapter which let you plug the red and white audio plugs into the adapter letting you plug it into your speakers if you dont have the red/white inputs. It plugs into an inbound port, not outbound (like a headset plug).

Just plug the red and white cables into your audio thingy you got with it. Then plug that into your subwoofer connected to your speakers. If you dont have a subwoofer you might need to get some new speakers. Mine is creative surround sound speakers they cost like 60$ comes with subwoofer and 4 speakers. Hope this helps you.

Use the mono to stereo thing to make it one plug. then plug it in where the mic would go. If not, then I guess you have to find a Male to female converter from Radioshack or something. I haven't gotten one yet, so I'm doing this off what I think the box contains.

 If you just plug in the red or white one, you're only getting mono L or mono R.

alright I'll try that.... oh one more quiestion I'm currently going to test it out on my 15" Dell Monitor with a resoltuion of only 1024 768...... will this be good enough? I mean will it still look better then on a SD TV? Or should I go and borrow my brothers 20" Samsung monitor instead?

Hell yeah. An SDTV's resolution is more along the lines of 640 x 480 (don't know for sure, but it's about that quality I think). Just as long as you can sit a monitor-distance away instead of a tv distance away.

lol. I'm imagining a 15 inch monitor 10 feet away and trying to play anything on it.

Also, do you know the response time on that monitor? If it's too slow there'll be artifacts, but if your LCD is pretty recent, you'll be fine. In any case, SDTV is the absolute baseline you can get.

oh, 15 inch is okay, 20 inch is good too. Just as long as your bro will lend it to you longterm

nah he need it for his comp (even though hes got a HD tv)  and he lives pretty far away so I hate to go back and forth with the monitor just to play games on. Anyway as for my dell monitor. I'm not sure of its response rate but its a 15" LCD which I bought back in july 2004 (when LCd's were still not the standard)Â
