[QUOTE="schims"][QUOTE="FirstDiscovery"]This is a big problem, but it can be fixed. Youre going to have to put in the HDMI for vision, and a VGA/Composite-Component cable at the same time. Offcourse, they cant be in at the same time because the VGA/Composite-Component cables are so thick, but there is a DIY fix where you take off the shell. This should you plug it in. Unfortunately the only way to get 5.1 for the 360 is either HDMI or opticalFirstDiscovery

You have two solutions. You buy the Xbox HDMI cable with the slimmer dongle, or you remove the thick grey plastic on your current set of cables where it goes into the xbox.Steppy_76

HMMmm - weird - when I used to play on a monitor I had both an HDMI/DVI cable hooked up and the standard AV cable for audio and they both fit fine.

Not sure what to tell ya - maybe buy an inexpensive HDMI cable that isn't so think and try that?

Sorry for your frustrations though - that always sucks with a new "toy".

I dunno man try it.

If i remember correctly the white and red plugs on the audio/video cable are the left and right speakers cables.

i think the yellow plug is the video.

get a monitor with speakers.... gotrixzeth

lol dude...just hook ur av cables up to ur tv for sound.

So I just got an xbox 360 arcade for 49 euros =D special promotion in exchange with any and I mean ANY old console u'd get an arcade model for 49 euros,7 arcade games, forza 2 and viva pinata. Sexy sexy deal.

Now the problem, I get home use my ps3's hdmi cable to hook it up to my pc monitor, and what do I find happens next, in order to get sound I need to also plug in the AV thingy or whatever it's called, but the DAMN CABLE IS TO THICK! How the hell does MS manage to make such a stupid mistake, I can only have either the hdmi cable connected with no sound, or play on my crappy SDTV with sound...

This is a seriously stupid mistake on MS's part, it feels like they just put whatever was cheapest together and didn't worry at all about the consoles desgin, it's pretty friggen loud too, and has a HUGE brick...

Anyway, does anyone know how I can fix this without wasting a butload of money?
