StandingInAlley Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Hey guys, Today i bought the official Microsoft Xbox360 VGA Cable and connected it to my 19" Samsung Widescreen LCD. HD Gaming looks awesome. I can't believe i was missing this from last one year. So anyways i have selected 1336x768 resolution and have selected "Standard" as "Reference" thingy under the Display part. Now my problem is how should i connect the audio end ? I have a 2.1 setup. http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/2537/dsc00051ao9.jpg A friend of mine suggested me to get this cable. Basically the end of this cable would connect in the "line in" part in my soundcard and somehow the audio would be routed through the speakers which are already connected to the comp through the sound card. My question is that would this actually work ? If not which other cable should i get ? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjb1118 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 If you bought the Microsoft cable, that is included in the package. Although it's an adapter rather than a wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lingwo Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 make sure you have it plugged into your Line in and your line in isn't muted or turned right down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawkMan Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 make sure it's not muted too. line in devices are often muted in the autio control panel so that only the computer hear it but it's not piped back to the speakers. either way if you do have it on line in and not another output it's gotta be some kind of setting.

StandingInAlley Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 (edited) Could it be my drivers ? I am currently downloading drivers for my onboard audio + I am running Windows Vista if that matters ? I just connected the cable to the sub and it works fine but everytime i can't do this. I am installing some new drivers lets hope it works out Update - Its working fine now thx a lot guys :D Edited October 22, 2007 by Prince17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kushan Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Just one thing you might want to know about the VGA cable that I only recently discovered - it doesn't support PAL 50Hz mode. What does this mean? Basically, it applies to the backwards compatibility. If the game you want to play doesn't support 60hz mode, you wont be able to play it. Halo 2 works fine, but it can't be updated since the update requires the 360 to go into the Xbox 1 dashboard, which is stuck to 50hz. So check your old xbox 1 games to make sure they support 60hz mode. I hope Microsoft fixes this with the next dashboard update, but I'm not holding my breath :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
