One way to connect X540 speakers to xbox360 w/HDMI video output

This shows one way how to use the logitech x540 speakers with the Xbox 360 while using HDMI output.

Speakers aren't really surrounding you are they :P

[striderzer0]

@dnarbedlih1 they are if you connect them to a sound card/ HTC/or DAC that support analog output

[Richyroooooo]

Do the x540's have optical input?

[striderzer0]

@Richyroooooo x540 doesnt have optical input, otherwise i would have used it

[sumgui]

is there a PlayStation 3 equivalent to that adapter?

[striderzer0]

@sumgui it doesnt need one because you can use your original av cable red white audio while you are using hdmi

can't you just connect these to your tv so you can have surround sound on everything you do? like tv, movies, gaming etc?

The way I did it: PS3/Xbox is connected to the TV with HDMI. TV is connected to my desktop PC's Sound Blaster card via optical connection. 5.1 speakers are then connected to the Sound Blaster. That gives you true 5.1 surround from a gaming console, assuming you already have a 5.1 card in your computer.

maybe old, but I now got a 5.1 SPA2602 system from philips, the back got three red.white audio in and those cables which come with it have 3.5 mm Jackplugs. (problem is I can only connect two of the three 3.5 mm jackplugs in the 360 cable, anyone help?

Actually that audio adaptor was a waste of money I mean look at this adaptor

@Richyroooooo No. It would be nice to have the surround sound that that would offer but it doesn't. This way works great though.

is that the same way to connect to ps3 80gb, and btw if you connect to tv if possible will you get the sound from the speakers when your playing playstation 3, and btw i am planning to buy some phillips spa5300 2.1 speaker system, will this work on my ps3 with the same method as you done in the video, PLEASE REPLY OR SEND PRIVATE MESSAGE
