I had my 360 working on my non HD 36" TV. But now have fitted it to my 20" PC monitor. I just bought the Logic3 cable which works great and I am amazed how much improvment it had made to the picture.

But I have no sound as i have 2 RCA connections but not sure were I need to put them.

Any help please. I am using the creative 7.1 SS on my PC
thanks

What speakers do you have?

Built into the monitor, separate?

What inputs your PC has is immaterial unless you want to feed the sound through it (pointless?).

You'll most likely need a stereo phono to minijack connector to plug into either normal PC speakers or the monitor speakers. If your PC sound system takes digital then use a toslink digital optical cable from the xboxen.

I have creative 9000 series. I was told the best way would be to get an adaptor to unplug my speakers from the pc then into the xbox connectors.

You need a double phono to single jack cable: Like This

Plug it into the line in socket on your pc (usually blue), open the volume panel and set the recording source to line in. Now whenever you switch the xbox on, assuming the pc is on the sound will route through the pc and out the speakers. That way you wont have to unplug anything. If you want to bypass the pc, use that cable and plug into the input on the speaker that usually comes from the green socket on the pc.
