sifus~ want to ask, hdmi-dvi = hdmi-hdmi in terms of quality? or almost the same?

i have a dvi lcd with no build in speaker, so if i get myself a hdmi-dvi cable, i cannot get sound.
if i use my composite cable to tap for the av audio, it will block the hdmi output.

One sifu told me that the only way is mod the av by opening the casing. besides this any other options?
help!

Just buy a HDMI monitor come with sound output.....or just get a LCD TV

Dude, first thing, does your LCD monitor supports HDCP even though it has DVI port? If not, no point to buy the HDMI-DVI cable.

Don't worry about audio, you can use the AV connector to channel your sound (red/white cable).

my lcd is full hd.

the avconnecter once connected to the xbox it will bloxk the hdmi cable to connect with the xbox.

The 360 need not HDCP to begin with, so there shouldn't be any problem. And vv001, seems like opening the casing is your only option if you are not planning to get another cable/adapter for audio. I used to use a third party cable which doesn't block the HDMI socket for audio.

i is better to get a cable that modding my console~
where did you get that cable? game shop?

Y dont u use vga hd cable?if u still insist want to connect to ur dvi then just get the vga-dvi converter..

It's a third party VGA cable, bought it from play-asia many years ago, work like charm. It's out of stock now though, and I've no idea where I put mine.

the quality for the vga cable suz... yupp i will get the hdmi to dvi cable to get HD quality
just that i wanna solve the audio issue. haha

What i mean is using vga hd cable for xbox that come with red n white rca cable then attach vga-dvi converter to the vga head n connect it to ur monitor it will still connect as dvi..

oh, if this is the case, i will be getting VGA quality and not DVI as DVI is just the bridging for the VGA to connect to the LCD. correct me if i am wrong.

You are correct

i want hdmi/dvi quality~~ seemed that the only way is to find non hdmi blocking av cable...

Pretty obvious on my displays, some claim otherwise. It is worth it if you ask me

ok i believe u bro!

I pried open the xbox AV connector and wrap it with tape as improvised solution to let both HDMI and AV connector stay together... it works

just for ur info...
hdmi-dvi is the same as hdmi-hdmi.
there's no signal conversion or whatsoever.it's just connector is different.everything is pure.the only thing is dvi is for video only while hdmi capable of transmitting audio and video.

too bad they still retain the same port placements in Xbox Slim..

TS u can use VGA AV out cable, there's minimal differences between analog and digital signal for Xbox 360, so just use VGA for video..

thanks guys for the info... i will try it up ~

Yup just pry open your AV cable to fit. That'll give you access to the audio.
