360 Monitor Sound Issues

MidnightRaven · 6 Dec 2007 at 23:15

I have a bit of a minor inconvinience regarding my 360. I recently hooked it up to my ASUS LCD VW193 monitor and it works fine. The problem is, there is no sound. Now, I am pretty sure I need some kind of adapter to connect the 360 sound cables to my speaker cables; however I have no real knowledge of this and decided to check with you guys first. So, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

MR.

rca to 3.5mm
3.5mm STEREO MALE to DUAL RCA FEMALE ADAPTER

Known as them, local electronics store should do them for couple of quid

If you got the official MS VGA lead then you should already have that adaptor

And if you didn't, buy the official one

That one? Because I don't recall any such adapter in the packaging with it...

Not sure if that's the official one, if it is then you would have got the adaptor with it, so I guess not, they are cheap at any local audio or electrical shop anyway

The packaging sure looks official, usual white and green scheme. Anyway, I'll take a look around for that adapter, thanks guys

That means nothing. My 3rd party VGA cable came in what looked like genuine packaging but there was no MS logo anywhere. It also didn't come with an audio adaptor. Does your cable have the logo and hologram on it?

Wasn't there also a batch of official VGA cables that didn't come with the adaptor? Sure I remember reading something about it on here.

Hmmm...*Checks.* Not that I can see no, guess it wasn't official. Ah well.
