I'm not sure as I have not tried it, however I remember someone saying (probably Kreeeee) that the volume out from the vga cable is quite low and needs amplification.
But I could be wrong, wont be the first time
You got that right
It's not that big a deal, my headphones have an inline volume. And the crappy speakers i'll be bringing to the LAN this weekend have volume control anyway.

Yeah but doesn't that inline volume control make things quieter?
Should make it louder and quieter depending on which way you move it.
The other option is i bring my big PC speakers and plug my headphones into them but i think Psymonkee will cry if i try and put them in his car along with the rest of my stuff

I'd test this out before you leave

yeah, inline volume controls are just variable resistors and adjust the amount of the whole signal you recieve at the speaker. The volume is not boosted by them. Best bet is to feed the signal into the line in on a PC then have headphones hooked into that.
How do you do that with the VGA cable? Would i need anything else apart from the VGA?
on the end of the cable is the VGA, plus L and R phono socket's. You should get an adapter in the box (assuming its the official microsoft one) that converts the 2 phono's to a 3.5mm stereo jack. just simply plug that bit into your pc's line in (or some other kind of amplification device that hasnt got phono connectors on it)
