HDMI help!!!!?

Question

Ok so I am getting a xbox 360 with the HDMI output on it. but I have it running through logitech HDMI speakers. I have just a normal HDMI cabel. but the 5.1 runs through the componet cabels (Red and White) how do I hmake this work with the HDMI?

Answer 1

We need to clarify some things.

1) Logitech doesn't make HDMI speakers.  You might be confusing HDMI with USB.

2) You can't run surround sound through stereo cables (red and white).  Surround sound must run through coax or optical audio cables.

You have two options for your Xbox360 issue:

1) Use HDMI for video, then Toslink optical cable for audio.

2) If you have an HDTV, connect Xbox to TV with HDMI for audio and video.  This would not give you surround sound to your surround sound receiver though.

Answer 2

use digital optical  audio output
