How can i connect my speakers with headphone input with my xbox?

Question

I just bought the creative A500 speakers because the salesman told me i could use it with my xbox. But the problem is that the speakers input is the standard headphone cable. Does anyone knows what to do ??

Answer 1

Go to your local radio shack and buy a RCA audio to 3.5 headphone.  Connect the RCA audio to Xbox than  use the 3.5 to input to your speaker.  It work, I am actually using it right now.

Well, a headphone "input" is technically an OUTPUT.  Signal goes out from the 1/8" or 1/4" jack.  You seem to be referring to a 1/8" headphone jack.  Most speakers, however, use unbalanced 1/4" cables.  You would need to find an 1/8" to 1/4" adapter, and a balance converter.

However, are you looking at the input on the speakers themselves?  Some speakers do have headphone jacks, so you can bypass the speakers and listen on headphones.  This isn't what you want.  You need to find a line-out, or some sort of audio output on your X Box.  You know those red/white/yellow cables?  One is for video, and the other two are for audio left and right.  They should be labeled, and they should be RCA jacks.  Look for an adapter to plug your RCAs into the inputs on your speakers.  Good luck.
