the optical are the only way for you to get true 5.1 sounds from xbox. your amp or speaker should also have optical IN and capable of decoding Dolby Digital signal.

Anyone know the prices of a HTIB setups now? I think there are those below 1k but not below 700 yet.

should be around 800-1k. 700 might be hard to find, but still possible. maybe if there's any store trying to clear old stock.

actually, you can hook up the analogue out to a Dolby Surround Pro-Logic receiver to get 4-channel positional audio (Left,Right,Center,Rear), though it may not be as discreet as Dolby Digital / WMA9Pro, the rear channel really works, im having a Pro-Logic setup, can hear bullet whizzes and gunshots from the back in COD2. not sure if Dolby Surround Pro-Logic II (5 channels - front L-R, center, rear L-R) would work though, dont hv the system.

xb360 support pro-logic II. i have tried pro-logic II and DD/DTS, trust me a true 5 channel sounds are much more better than any pro-logic II sound. hearing the gunshot and bullets whizzing in Black Hawk Down movie are really sweets biggrin.gif

for budget tight, get an external soundcard like extigy or any other that capable of decoding Dolby Digital signal + cheap pc 5.1 speaker. should cost you rm500-rm600.

Home Theater in a Box. Everything you need is inside the box. DVD player, speakers, amp, subwoofer and all the cables.

There's some good deals within that range at Desa Home Theater in Puchong. Lemme see if I can find any links.

OT some, today i bought another optical cable for my xbox1. come back only realise one end head different from the another end. doh.gif one like normal optical end, another look like this:
