Are you using VGA? If so you need the VGA adapter with the sound adapter

[mrkillboy]

Yeah, I am using VGA. Can you hook me up with a link to get one?

[Justin21]

Here (http://mktplassets.xbox.com/NR/exeres/061F7058-48E8-4D09-8F73-13F55E01AA27.htm)
You can probably find one online for cheap, if not they're like 35 retail at bestbuy or gamestop

If you have an HDMI input it could save you some money, I have the acer h233h and i use hdmi instead of vga.

[mrkillboy]

I got a VGA cable. What else do I need?

it has to have a Red an white split on it that connects to a av input for monitors, its a little piece

[mrkillboy]

My monitor doesn't have one. My VGA cables have the two prongs. Monitor has no place to plug them in.

monoprice.com has cheep good ones
and they ship really fast other wise go to best buy or radio shack and see if they have one.... does the monitor have a hdmi hook up or no

[mrkillboy]

Yeah it does. I just want to use my VGA.

What all do I need to use VGA on a monitor?

[Gweedo888]

i just read on the specs that it has a DVI input if you can buy a DVI to HDMI berklin for 20 i think and that might do sound not to sure though since i have to use a rca connection when i hook my mac book to the tv

[Justin21]

HDMI will solve all your issues

[Jewjitsu]

the xbox vga cables come with a red/white to 3.5mm adapter. use that to plug the sound into your monitor.

be warned, though, built in monitor speakers sound like ass. i recently purchased the bose companion II computer speakers. pricey, but i couldn't be happier.

your vga cables should have come with all of this:

I got the sound to come through my built in speakers.

I have a pair of TB x11s and I need to get the sound to come through my headset. Can anyone help me?

[Jewjitsu]

You can get an adapter like that at radioshack, but the vga cable should have come with it

[vontoxic]

If you have TB x11s then the RCA to 3.5mm Y adapter should have came with it.

What is it called?

[Jewjitsu]

rca to 3.5mm adapter.
