Xbox 360 headphone - volume prob

lemm · 17 Jan 2006 at 13:53

I just connected my Sennheiser HD570 headphone to the Microsoft VGA cable using a 3.5 mm coupler. Now the problem that I'm having is that the sound volume is so low, obviously

. Is there anyway to adjust the volume settings in the Xbox dashboard? If not, what other options do I have? Can I buy a wire with volume control for my Sennheiser headphone or will I have to buy a new set?

I see, thanks. I had a quick search over at Ebay for 'headphone amp' and it's confusing me

. What do I need to look for?

Can't you run through the line in of your PC?

Uhm, I suppose I could do that..., My 360 is right next to my PC anyway. What would I need to do in order to let the sound run through the line in of my pc? If it helps, I've got a Asus A7N8X motherboard and i'm using the onboard sound feature.

Assuming it's 2 phono connectors on the VGA lead, one of these.

I have that one already (i think). It came with the VGA lead. I had to plug the white & red wire into that adaptor. What do I do now?

sorry for coming across as such a newbie

thanks for everyones help.

Hehe,

Well, first I put on the live headset, then on top of them I put my heady's. Obviously, it looks stupid

, it's not very comfortable... but hey it's not that bad
