Xbox 360 Help Needed Please!!!!!!
Origim \| 6:09 PM on 12.28.2007	11 comments

Normally I can solve most of my electronics related problems all by myself but this one has me stumped and pissed. I bought a 360 this morning and was going to use it with my PC monitor. I bought all the proper adaptors to do so and it was actually fairly easy. The problem is I have no bloody sound. I tried hooking into the jack on the speakers and about every combo I could find on my mother boards on board sound chip and I get nothing. According to the reading I did on the net I should have sound and yet I get fucking nothing. It's driving me nuts as I want to play fucking COD4 and cant unless I play as the worlds first completely deaf solider. Any help the community here can give me would be greatly appreciated. My computers OS is Vista with onboard sound.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

I found your problem: Vista.

Vista is probably the issue

Most likley vista, and this is for the fourms btw

Just connect direct to the monitor and then plug the sound output from your VGA cable into a stereo of some kind. That's what I do. I have a Y-Splitter on mine so i can split the signal to both of my freakin' sweet monitors too! =)

First off my dumbass didnt even think about the forums, doh. If its vista then I'm screwed as I dont have a T.V. worth a shit and other than my pc speakers I dont have any kind of stereo. Well this is depressing.

heres what you do!

take that 70 bucks you spent on some cables and go over to good ol wally world (wal-mart to the un-in-bred?) and buy a piece of shit crv tv and call it a day. Then snipe some bitches in CoD4. :]

16bitmonster

cause shitty looking CoD4 is better then no CoD4..correct?

also, UT4 frags CoD4 in the ass. :]

16bitmonster

whoops i is teh fail. I meant UT3 is better then Cod4 but yeah unless your a UberL337 H4rdc0re gamer like me you might not have a ps3 also so playing Cod4 until about may when Ut3 comes out should be okay.. :] last post i swear on my saturn that i'm not a blog whore.

also, Albert Odyssey is over-rated.

Origim
