    Unhappy Help!

    Greetings all, this is a question I am eager to get some help with but often goes unanswered, I hope some of you can help.

    Just to begin with, here are the specs for my PC monitor as they move prove helpful

    And the specs for my speakers, just in case

    So then, here is my situation…

    In order to play the 360 on my PC monitor, I know I need the Xbox 360 VGA HD AV Cable. Looking at pictures of this cable (below) I know that the cable in the blue circle plus straight into the back of my PC, easy enough – but it is the cables in the red circle that are giving me some grief.



    Now, being as my speakers do not have anywhere to just plug the 2 cables into, I am unsure as to what I need to do about them. One solution I have come up with is to first, plug the speakers into the headphone socket on the base of my monitor (the monitor does already include a crappy, mono speaker) so that any sound that would come out of my monitor speaker will come out of my additional speakers and then connect the 2 red and white cables into this…



    Do you think that this would work? If not, can you please offer any alternative solutions?

    Many thanks in advance!

    Here is a (rather crude) diagram of how I currently am thinking of how the system will work

    That's right, Tissue37, you can plug the red and white phono plugs into a phono-to-3.5mm adaptor and then connect that into a Line In socket on your PC's sound card. Then you can plug your speakers into your Line Out / Speaker socket in the sound card in the usual way. But I'm not sure what kind of quality you could expect doing it that way.

    The phono sockets on the XBox cable are intended for you to plug them into an input channel on a hi-fi amplifier ...... and, often, that will be connected up to a decent 5.1 surround system.
