I believe a cheap optical cable with a toslink adapter on the end that plugs to the monster cable (looks like a headphone jack) is all you need. It wouldn't hurt to try.

Update:

The monster adapter is shorter than a toslink adapter, so it is proprietary. As a poster said below the XBOX 1 version works fine and is being clearanced.

The adapter which is included with the GameLink 360 Fiber Optic Cable would fit aswell. But a third party adapter won't fit. It's a speacial short 2,5mm at one end and a female Toslink at the other.


You can get the LightWave 100 X pretty cheap from Radioshack, it'll cost you only about 7 bucks:

You may want to return it and get the kit that has the optical with it.
