u may google for xbox vga cable to see how it looks like.
here it goes.



so the audio will goes to ur speaker as per normal using the audio cable.

if u want to use hdmi, since u mention cheaper way.. u need to crack open ur av cable so that it can fit with both hdmi and av cable. av cable is for u to connect it to ur speaker using the normal audio cable.

here it goes


u can look for other videos on youtube if u didnt really see how he did it.

and if u dont know how to connect the audio cable to ur speaker..
u need this.



hope it clears everything.

wilsonjay. where u from? PJ? go to PJ Digital mall get the cable.... all IT hypermarket there... the picture posted above was 1F-2F but u can get 1F-2M then get a 2F-2F converter.... both of these only cost around RM12-13 nia... i bought at digital mall section 14 PJ at All IT Hypermarket.... dont waste ur time go pudu famous electronic shop... thy dun have... somemore parking 1 problem...
i am using this rite now..... if u need help, pm me.

oh all IT have these stuffs? ookok ill go check them out..thx guys

hahahaha.... lol.
u can just go to any electronic hardware store and ask for it. no need to go to fancy2 store... i got mine only around rm3-5.

Followed what the dude on youtube to crack open the el-cheapo AV cable bundled with Arcade version. The good thing is the xbox male connector doesn't come loose as showed in the youtube video but still need a duct tape to wrap around prevent electrical zap. Voila! My HDMI cable and the hacked AV cable works nicely on my 19" LCD monitor + Hifi setup

use microsoft vga cable and 3.55 female jack and 2 rca female jack for audio. done.

hi....

I think there are 3 resolution for this problem......

First you can follow the video from youtube or you can use the vga cable or you can buy the hdmi cable that is given when you buy xbox 360 elite....

hope it helps....

basically, u need to crack open the xbox av cable and plug in into ur xbox.
second, plug end of ur av cable to ur speaker. ->for sound obviously.
third, plug ur hdmi/dvi cable like normal ->this is for video/display

Just make sure you wrap the bare naked AV connector with duct tape to prevent electrical shock
