So I just bought a Xbox Arcade. The plan was to use my monitor to output the video and my PC sound card to output the sound. This was very easily done with the PS3 using this:
The plan was to use an HDMi to DVi cable and hook that up to my monitor. Then I cracked open the casing of the composite(red/white/yellow plugs) to allow for both the HDMi and Composite cable to run in tandem. So far so good, with just the composite White/Red plugs inserted into my PC sound card, I was getting sound through my speakers no problemo. The problem occurs when I plug in the HDMI to DVi cable, the Xbox recognizes it as straight digital audio(which it clearly isn't) and it completely turns off the sound.
Is there a fix for this? I can't believe MSoft makes it this hard to basically run two outputs.
