xbox 360 on hdtv urgent help needed!!!



  none, just walk
ive just bought a hdtv ive pluged the scart lead from the back of my sky and thats no problem got a sound and picture on scart channel 1, but the problem is my xb360, when i plug it through the original leads the console came with, it works no problem on a scart channel 2 for sound and picture, but when i plug in the madcats hd vga cable lead i can get a nice new hd clear screen but no sound! ive tried to configure the sound and everything but it just wont work,all you get with it is red and white audio leads and a video in lead, when i plug these into my new tele i its now on channel vga. im totally shite when it comes to this cos i aint got a clue (as you can tell) but what do i need to get it work? i think i need to take the madcats cables back correct? and what do i need instead?

ive got a hdmi hole under the video in bits that ive pluged these into and there is a channel for that too, its that the channel the xb360 should be on?

i need help asap guys so i can make it back to pcworld to take these back if they are the wrong ones.

thanks

haha ,i went through the very same thing last week .

In your Ext,you have 3 slots for HD right ? hence your getting the picture .

Are there not slots in the same Ext for your sound cables ? if not is there a mono stereo slot ?

Another thing is make sure your are adjusting sound coming in to TV to analogue not digital .

on my tele i've got a 3.5 mm headphone socket for sound to accompany a vga input.

you might need something to convert rca's to 3.5 mm

ive checked on the back of the tv the only areas you can plug things in are the 2 scarts, a hmdi hole, a pc audio hole, a vga hole with 2 red and white holes underneith that, and on the side of the tele there are red, white, yellow holes and a 's video' and headphones hole

ive tried keeping the vga plugged in and tried puting the red and while cables it came with in the side and underneith and its still not working? any ideas?

Your tv will be able to support it ,its just your doing something wrong .

putting the red & white sound cables into different Ext's won't work ,it will have to be the same as where you are putting the VGA leads .

What sockets do u have left in the Ext where you have your VGA leads into ?

well ive plugged in the red and white cable and now ive got the yellow hole left, and the headfones one, and the s video hole
on the other side of the tv ive got the vga cable plugged in and its still got the red and white holes under that, but ive tried plugging them in and its made no difference, and its got a hdmi plug and a pc audio hole?

yea leave the yellow out of it ,are u sure the sockets u have plugged the red & white into are actually for sound ? do they have red & white on them ? If yes then all your doing wrong is setting the sound wrong on your tv .

I made the same mistake of using the 2 sockets under the VGA sockets for my left/right sound ,when actually i had to use the headfones socket & to do so i had to buy a lead to convert the rca's from 2 into 1 3.5mm stereo jack

are you sure u have it set on the tv to analogue & making sure digital is not selected ?

when i first used the 2 into 1 jack ,the sound didnt work ,i had to make sure digital was off .

got it sorted! basically when i went to get the connector there was three, i got two thinking if one was wrong then the other one would be ok, and sods law it was the third one that i needed,

thanks so much for all the help i wouldnt have a clue i needed to get that connector

lol you should have asked a guy at the shop for advice ... mind you these days that doesn't help .

At least it's sorted ... welcome to HD :approve:
