I have just up the XBOX 360 through my OcUK 24" monitor via the official VGA HD Cable. I just dont have anywhere to put the white and red audio cables!!!!

Any suggestions because the speaker system i am using has a sub which is too far away from the setup!

Cheers :)
 
Well the two rather obvious solutions are

a) buy another set of speakers
b) buy cable extension leads and connect to your existing speaker system

:p I know

I just wanted an "easy/lazy" way of doing it tonight!

If i use the headphones will this give me sound on the games, even though its only one earpiece?

Cheers :)
 
I'm asuming your PC is also near the monitor?
If so just plug the audio cable via the Y connector from the VGA cable into the 'audio in' on your PC.
That of course is also asuming you have speakers plugged into your PC?

My speakers are connected to the audio connectors for the PC, or am i missing something?

You speakers will be in the soundcard 'line out' socket

Connect the 360 audio to the 'line in'. then make sure line in isn't muted in your volume controls.
 
I have no line in as i am using audio via my motherboard, or should'nt that matter?

My speakers are 2.1 and are a bit ****. They have no input anywhere!!!!

Any suggestions?

[EDIT] What speakers sub £20 can i get for both the PC and XBOX360, or do i just get a soundcard?

Cheers :)

Your line in should be free, just use the 2rca-3.5mm ministereo adapter included in the vga cable and whack it in there. Might have to poke around your soundcard settings but it will work through your pc connected speakers.
 
Thanks guys.

I have used that 2 into 1 connector and i placed it into the blue slot but still no sound.

I have an MSI motherboard, how do i get it to work now?

Cheers :)
 
Still having trouble all.

Ok,

The speakers are connected to PC via one GREEN connector into the GREEN hole on the motherboard.

I have connected the VGA cable to the XBOX360 and the "2 into 1" red and white connectors into the BLUE hole in the motherboard.

I have "un muted" everything as you can see.

Is there something i am missing?

Is it something to do with Realtek?
