360 no sound with VGA and audio setup

WatchTower · 18 Mar 2008 at 20:14

So I bought a 360 today and the official VGA cable. I connected the VGA to my monitor and the audio cables to a phono adaptor tha that came with it and connected it to my PC speakers.

I can get a great picture but I'm getting no sound I've set the sound to stereo on the 360 and set my volume high on my speakers but I get nothing. :confused:

I need help.

Your normal cables work fine on the same setup?

I could be wrong (it has happened) but I'm fairly sure it requires the audio to be from the device you are plugging in the video to, unless you use Optical.

That's just a theory though.

I used a dual phono coupler and a pair of phono leads to hook my 360 up to some PC speakers with the VGA cable while I was sorting out my main setup.

I'm not sure what you mean by something requiring the audio to be from the device you are plugging in the video to though... :s

Could be your speakers? I have got it connected the same and works fine.

I'm using Logitech X-210 Speakers

a quick google suggests it has fixed jack plugs on it??

just to check, the L and R (red and white) phono connectors of the vga cable are plugged into the L and R to 3.5mm adapter you get with the vga cable, then from that the adapter is connected to the correct cable or plug of the speakers?

EDIT: also you can connect the phono plugs to any audio source you want, they dont need to be plugged into the same thing the VGA is plugged into
