  • i have the old cable for the old 360 (though i just bought the 360 s, but the standard definition cable makes the experience awful), the one with 6 plugs ( idk what to call em) and i plugged them in and i set my console to 1080p. but my question is, is that truly 1080p? because it looks a hell of a lot better than the other cable.

  • i have mine setup with the first cable you showed with the box with red and white and when i have the hdmi and a/v cable in at the same time my xbox wont start normal. it turns on but i get neither sound nor video.

  • no wabbel wabbel :(

  • can i connect the xbox 360 with the laptop screen using ONLY HDMI cable between both..?

  • @Seniorgrandos laptop HDMI is output (laptop to screen or projector) not input (xbox to laptop screen), therefore it can't work =(

  • Cheers

    

  • For what reason would the HDMI to DVI adaptor not work?? Sound through fiber optic s works fine but no video??

  • help

  • my xbox arcade wont start up when i plugin the audio

  • I dont have a fking spot for a DVI to go in the abck of my fkin monitor!

  • @wuhtsup this will also work with HDMI, and if you also don't have HDMI, search my videos for the VGA solution either on CRT monitors or anything else

  • @DoCWaSaBe

    but when i turn on my xbox , my monitor doesnt work :S , plzz help me

  • thank you so much for the help! this works on the xbox slims cord aswell if anyone was wondering!

  • @EpicEnigmatic thanks for the heads up. but if it doesn't work, I will come to your house. kidding.

  • You are a genius. I was trying to hook up my xbox to my old 1960s marantz speaker system (which doesn't have an optical outlet). My only option was to use hdmi for my video and av cords to hook up the xbox to the speaker system. Before watching this vid I couldn't fit an hdmi cord and an av cord in my xbox. Your technique at breaking the av cord to make it smaller worked great! Even on the old av cords.

  • 1:31 How dear you :D

  • Will this enable you to run both HDMI and VGA out from the XBOX at once? The VGA would be the XBOX 360 VGA cable.

  • You sir are a genius. Now for Gears 3 I dont have to waste money on a cheaper tv and can use my monitor till I have more saved up. Thanks!

  • Thanks man!

    

  • that's awesome, thanks!

  • orrrr you could just buy a 4$ 360 headphones off ebay LOL

  • @Drjrecordz Yeah, you don't have friends. HAHAHA.

  • i HOOKED up mine and turned on the swithc, wen I went to settings, the hd option wasnt hightlighted and everything was plug in. Currently its on 480 P.

  • Can you just use a vga-hdmi cable? I'm not botrhered about sound as I have a headset I can use

  • @TheComedyUK VGA and HDMI are two completely different signals and would require an expensive converter.

  • @TheComedyUK Yeah but you can get hdmi - vga cables, I bought one from ebay for £3 but it doesn't work on xbox you need the official vga adapter

  • Hey youtubers, the best way to go is to get the VGA cable which comes with the RED n WHITE audio connectors from MS. Then get a monitor that has VGA, if not then get a VGA to DVI connector for the DVI port. Then get a 2.1 audio system for sound (Red n WHITE plugs) I recommend logitech z623.

  • thanks for the help.. solved my problem

  • THANK YOU! i was lost in what to do

  • This is dangerous for my xbox 360 slim? Or no? Anwser me plis =)

  • i thought he was making a bomb

  • Comment removed

  • no sound in my ps3 im using HDMI , in my monitor no speakers ??? how to fix it

  • Helped me so much, thanks

  • this will work with a standard white/yellow/red av cable right?

  • Thanks that really helped :)

    

  • thank you!

  • where would u get the cables at like av to vgi where could i get them at im surviving here i need help

  • @TheDewayn1 Amazon

  • Thanks for posting this video! What a great solution you're awesome!

  • you from brasil?

  • thank you so much this helped me

  • I must be doing something wrong, but when I have both cables plugged in, the analogue cable just stops working, no video, no audio. When I unplug either one, the one plugged in works fine. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help.

  • thanks bro, helped ALOT!

  • I was thinking of doing just this! thanks for the vid, i mostly wanted confirmation that it worked.

  • the black av cable with the 360 slim is impossible to open like that one

    

  • can i just use the AV cable that came with my xbox? i dont have all of the colors only the RCA red yellow and white

  • can you do this with xbox kinect console?

  • Nujabes!!!! xD

  • @WaterminD91 yep loved em much

  • @DoCWaSaBe you mean you still love em!!

  • hey is there anyway to connect it via VGA without having to buy anything? like a hdmi to dvi and a dvi to vga adaptor? i read that this doesn't work cause of conversion issues because dvi- digital and vga- analogue but the vga cable is simple?

  • @DragonflyLord Microsoft makes an Xbox 360 VGA cable. There is no conversion required.

  • @OryKid yeah i know but i wanted to know if i could do that without buying a new cable, i put the 25 euro to a new monitor which costs 4 times as much as the cable... what a joke

  • @DragonflyLord no, the way the signal works with the xbox dictates you have to buy a vga cable specific to the xbox(or one of those high end expensive ones), i don't recommend a third party cable, just get the MS cable

  • @DoCWaSaBe oo a response from the awesome vid! ya i suspected your answer, the thing is i can buy a hdmi equipped monitor for 4 times/5 time the price of the vga cable which can only be used with the xbox!

    i'll just wait until then! thanks man!

  • @DragonflyLord very true if you are looking to buy a new monitor anyways =D

  • Why would you want to play a xbox thru your monitor?

  • @MrDownwitthesouth Much lower input lag and ghosting than an HDTV.

  • @MrDownwitthesouth its a cheap solution to get resolutions and performance that can blow away any TV set on the market.

  • @DoCWaSaBe hey, i watched ur video and i thought it was a great video. I was wondering if you hook up a xbox and a pc to the same monitor if you play a song on the pc will it work with the xbox? btw i have to sets of speakers.

  • @DoCWaSaBe i have a problem i connect the cable but my monitor no cables connected why?the monitor its a hp w1707 can you hrlp me

  • @MrDownwitthesouth monitors are also where your computer goes if you have a dual monitor setup you can have your xbox on your second monitor on a different input from your cpu and just swap inputs on the monitor

  • Is it actually giving you 2 different video outputs? Basically, Could I play in Hdmi and record with a capture card in S-video?

  • @BigTerv No, cant happen.

  • @OryKid I think you're wrong.

  • @BigTerv Its physically impossible for the XBox 360 to do man, Ive tried soooo many ways bro. You cannot output two video signals simultaneouly unless they are standard definition on the composite/component cable.

  • it didnt work for me either. I did exactly what you said but the audio still doesnt work. Do i plug the Red and White into the "PC IN" R and L slots where my dvi plug is? Or do i plug it in on the side component?

  • why the hell does microsoft do this??? What a bunch of assholes.. they just blatantly try to rip you off!!!!

  • sorry... With the 2 cables plugged only AUDIO (av cable) works, when i put the av cable with hdmi/dvi the video stops working

  • it don't work for me. With the 2 cables plugged only the video works.

  • @TheEvalButterfree :D i'm italian i don't speak english very well, sorry :P

  • Normally the Monitor have a speakers in it, but they do not works, so i have connected my Xbox to external speakers.

    Thank you.

  • cheers man helped me out a bunch :)

  • whats the connector cable called

  • tanks man, u solved my problem :) nice work!

  • @goku36912 tank beats everything?

  • Question, I'm not sure if this was already asked and I really don't feel like going through the comments lol, but can this be done with a PS3?

  • @KennC24 check my video regarding ps3's and monitors, and yes it can

    and u need the AV cable for audio

  • @DoCWaSaBe

    Hi, I'm mikuone from Swizzerland, i've connected my xbox 360 like in the video (I've Monitor Sony FWD-32LX1) but i don't have the Soud, can you help me? I have used you second solution.... Can you explain me like to connect Xbox 360 and the monitor above? Thank you

  • @mikuone does the monitor have speakers in it? (from a 30 second google it appears not to have speakers in it)

    if so what you need to do is buy some computer speakers or use your current computer speakers

    the cheap speakers will work but they will sound tinny and crappy if you need good quality sound then you likely want ( mine were$40-$50 australian and good quality with a subwoofer)

    i hope ive helped :)

  • I have an xbox elite av cable (the black one) and I can't get it open for the life of me. Are there different tactics on to opening this specific cable? It doesn't look like the one you're holding.

  • ok i have the same problem, i have dvi to hdmi and no sound. So im trying to get the sound off my older tv, but nothing. I plugged the white and red cord in the tv,still no sound. MY component cable only has yellow,red and white. I took the plastic off so it could fit while the the hdmi end is in too. I have no sound.i do this with my ps3 and it works,but what do i need to do about my xbox plz help thanks

  • how did i end up on this video?

    why am i here watching this?

  • thanks dude

  • Hi i got a LCD monitor with dvi-d and sub-d video ports so do i get a HDMI to dvi cable for my monitor?

  • thanks indian man

  • how do i connect a hdmi/Vga cable with audio???

  • how do u open it that easy my is solid reply plz

  • Can you have the hdmi and the audio video cable in at the same time, cause i need it to record my video games on my dazzle

  • thanks,it works with ps3 to

  • What about VGA, will that lose audio?

  • @SuperNinjaSH vga loses audio, the MS vga cable comes with the dual rca so that you may revert the audio to your speakers

  • WTF!

    

  • isn't this blocked for a reason? won't  this burn xbox's graphic card??!

  • @freeloshlo its blocked so that MS can burn a hole in your pocket

  • @freeloshlo its blocked so that MS can burn a hole in your pocket

  • @DoCWaSaBe so they only reason why it doesn't fit is so that you have to buy that component cable?

  • thanks for the tip my friend !!!!!!!

  • whats the name of that black piece u used to connect the audio?

  • @cblock356 Its an adapter for 3.5mm stereo audio to stereo RCA. You can make one for about $5 with radioshack parts, or buy one at radioshack for about $10-15.

  • @cblock356 you can buy it in the description for uber cheap!

  • wow ! thanks a lot bro ! xd !!

  • can someone give me a link to the adapter to buy??? I need one

  • WOBBLY WOBBLY <3

  • WE'RE GUNA CRACK IT ! i love it aha !

  • Does it also work with the composite cable?

  • TY dude you are awesome

  • Nice video dude but one thing, you should not place your screen on the monitor, it increases the risk of getting the RROD. Just an advice.

  • @e14752 thanks =P, its ok with me if i get a RROD haha

  • Thanks it helped me. I do not know how to solve the problem with the sound fucked microsoft xbox would equip the individual audio inputs.

  • hey i have componnet cables too , but i have only red white and yellow, not all those colors ? will they still work to crack the plastic and get sound ?

  • @rrgert4 should, but not guaranteed

  • @DoCWaSaBe

    it did, cause red and white is only needed (red=left sound, white =right) or other way :=) ofc if you dont have a surround sound set then you might need some other colours

  • can i use HDMI to HDMI cable AND so the same thing with sound ?

  • @rrgert4 yes

  • can you choose HDMI resoulution, (not via dvi) like that its REAL HDMI, cause you have the other cable too so ?

  • i bought an arcade ? will the red and whte and yellow thing work ?

    cause i dont have that elite dongle thing either :D

  • @masni92 yes it would work, i've done the same

  • Thank you so much! I first had a av cable that split into vga and audio. But it made Xbox 360 media center go crazy. Now using hdmi and the two audio cables from the component cable everything works perfectly :)

  • thank you a lot i was haveing the problem with fiting it and u just saved me from buying a cable from amazon :)

  • heyi have done everthing in ur vid but i still have no sound ?? my red and white ac audoi cables ar pluged directly to the tv.. and the end that was crack opened the switch is on tv.... can u plz help me

  • hey i am having a problem. I have a HDMI to dvi connection to my monitor. I did the procedure of opening up the plastic part and when i insert the AV cable, the xbox 360 goes blank. I think it reads the AV cable over the HDMI to dvi cable. Is there any way to fix that? Do i need to have the AV cable that has 6 colors ??

  • why cant i get any sound ? i use hdmi to a dvi tv which does not have component

    nor hd

    but i only get display can someone help? and yes i did use menu to sett on tv

  • I have a question! How the hell do i get one of those last cables is needed for it? I think i've seen one in my house but i cant find it. (The left-right sound to audio)

  • This still works? or ms had patched it ? :< i want to do it but i am sceptic

  • it works great individually but when i plug the av and hdmi in at the same time my monitor doesnt detect the signal from the hdmi cable but i can still hear the sound coming from the av cables, what do i do?

  • @xheyitsbrand0n hey im having the same problem. Did you figure it out ??

  • thanks helped me out

  • hola

    el cable de componentes lo seleccionaste en tv o hdtv

  • thnx bro that was a lot of help

  • I have an xbox 360 slim and i want to connect it to an hdtv. I have a hdmi cable but the component cable wont fit. All I have to do is crack the case around the component cable and then it will fit? So I can get full hd and sound?

  • What Speakers do you used in this video?

    tnx

  • Hello!

    I

  • is there a big difference in video quality in using AV to VGA cable to HDMI to DVI? im using the AV to VGA and i think it looks fine, would HDMI to DVI be a lot better or would it be a waste of money?

  • @garciabyron218

    You wont notice an difference with the naked eye. Vga cable is good enough

  • Great Tutorial my friend...My dvi cable should be in the post..was in panic mode lots till I came across this! thank you!

  • I have a big question for you guys

    I have no Xbox 360 but i want to buy one.

    I have a PC Monitor with HDMI port is there a extra cable for sound ore is the sound in the HDMI cable?

    Hope for help and sry for my bad english i hope you understand

  • @ToyFickaaa

    HDMI = Sound and Pictures

    :)

  • @ToyFickaaa HDMI carrys hd video and sound.....hope this helped :)

  • if i have a HDMI tv and i have the cord just plug the cord into the xbox and then it will format to the HDMI setting i dont need the Av cables in? or the AV/HD plug with the 6 colors and the HDMI cable?

  • @Ps3THEONE52 if you TV has HDMI it will run the audio through the HDMI cable. IF you dont have HDMI in your tv you will forcefuly need the A/V cable to use the audio

  • Wow my friend what screen is that? is that Samsung Syncmaster 932BF? cause i have the same one and i have my 360 connected with VGA but im not satisfied with the quality so im thinking of trying HDMI-DVI : ) would u think it will be better?

  • I have done this and it works, but the outlines in games are very jagged. Yes i have set my xbox 360 to 1080p and i have tried different resolutions. However, i suspect i may have a cheap hdmi cable, am going to test it with a much more expensive one. What do you think the cause for this jaggedness would be?

  • the tactic wont work for me wtf lol

  • please help me out bro, i just bought an hdmi to dvi for my xbox to play on my monitor and when i press input on my monitor it says "input not supported"

  • hey i've done everything you said.. it's all plugged in perfectly and i even went back to the standard detail to check it was plugged in properly.. then i went back and there is still no audio on the hdmi.. i dont get this..
