Anybody tried plugging the hdmi plug into something other than an xbox? (please dimwit, don't tell me what it was made for). I want just audio out

This does not go into the xbox's HDMI port at all. It goes into the proprietary A/V out plug.

I've got an identical setup (but a blue ray instead of XBox) and it works. There should be a setting on your home theater system that would allow to transmit sound to rear speakers. I have a Sony 5.1 surround system and I have to press "Sound Field" several times until I find the correct setting... Hope this helps - you can email me at mplavnik@gsb.uchicago.edu for additional questions.

Rick, try going to your Sound controls from your "Control Panel" buttons. I recently connected to a TV through my HDMI and I find that I have to manually switch the sound there from "Speakers" (which is my computer sound) to "NVidia Hi-Def Audio" in order to get sound to the TV if I'm trying to watch something on Hulu over there. One annoying glitch though: The switch only allows for you to change your "Default" settings (be sure to hit default if "apply" by itself doesn't work... that's what I have to do.) so you then have to go through the procedure each time you change. Annoying, but workable if you don't have to do it a whole lot. - MJM

Unplug the factory a/v plug and the new cable look the same and fit in the same location. The plug connector is in the back, middle section of the xbox. Connects next to an hdmi connection. To me the connection resembles a very large hdmi plug. Goodluck

I got mine and last week and have spent numerous hours trying to get it to work. I ended up buying a set of ear buds to plug in the xbox 1 controller adapter to rule out this piece i even went and got another chat headset and still nothing.... 0 stars from me

..yes, very frustrating. I'm having the same problem and unfortunately we may have to hook up a separate feed from the laptop headphone jack to the audio system. I had understood that you could get sound through the HDMI so this is a pain in the butt.

Yes, I have a aux port on my tv and so does the system. So it just plugs into my tv. Sound systems like this are usually used for computers and pcs I never used it for my Xbox just my tv hope this answered you're question. If not go ahead and ask again.

No it has hdmi out only.It has a optical audio in as well as rca audio input.you could hook hdmi from xbox to tv then audio out of tv into the unit.Thats what i'm doing though my tv doesn't have optical out so just using rca audio out to the reciever .eh sounds fine.It does convert it into 5.1 well.

Hi Kim, make sure that the digital input is in the in, not out, of you digital box, what came with the headset. The other end should be connected to his game station. If it is an XBox, you would need to adaptor which plugs into the controller. Insert the DC power cable USB in the game station. On you game station, you would have to go to your "sound settings" and Audio Output Settings and select Optical Digital. Select Dolby Digital 5.1 Ch., Linear PCM 2 Ch. 44.1 kHz, and Linar PCM 2 Ch. 48 kHz. If you want sound to come from your tv and headset, go to audio muti-output and select on. I hope I got to help you today. Hi Kim, make sure that the digital input is in the in, not out, of you digital box, what came with the headset. The other end should be connected to his game station.

I didnt have an issue with mine.You have it the receiver to automatically detect and send audio?Maybe try a different HDMI?

There is a switch on the component cable dongle that slides into the xbox, try sliding it to the other position. That did the trick for me.

No but there is a solution.The audio output is via stereo jack or the hdmi. What I did to have 5.1surround through a n optical cable was to connect the hdmi audio/video out to an hdmi / sprig (optical) splitter. You get as an output the hdmi signal + optical audio. I am using the viewHD splitter and it works perfectly

Works with any red/white rca audio source or a subwoofer out . If you use an amplifier that has additional rca audio out great. Since the xbone has only hdmi and fiber optic audio as sound out sources, you must rely on your amplifier to have the rca red/white or subwoofer audio out to use buttkicker.I bought a cheap converter on Amason that converts fiber optic audio to rca, and use hdmi for tv, works great!Search for "toslink to rca" on Amason. Depending on Xbone update happening this week 3/10/14 you may have to adjust the audio in settings on the Xbone to stero, only if you hear/feel no sound.

Stick to wireless. I tried to plug it to my Xbox controller with the same idea, but the audio jack wasn't compatible

Did you change the audio settings to HDMI OUT? You will need to in order for the audio to go to HDMI.

yeah but its just a monitor so there will be no sound coming from it. you have to use an external source for the sound. oh for the hdmi you can just buy a $5 adapter from walmart or some other place. disregard my last comment!

on mine the audio only works for output A but you can get a "pass thru analog audio extractor" for the output B. it is made by NYKO. there are a lot of makers of this. Its a HDMI cable with two RCA jacks coming out of the thick part of the HDMI head. this pull of the Audio for sound system
