Xbox 360 setup with HDMI-DVI cable and TOSLINK cable?

Question

I have been reading around looking for the best way to play my 360 on my 22" LCD monitor. I have a 360 with the HDMI port and what I think is a port for digital audio (or optical, not familiar with the tech terms there). Am I able to run an HDMI-DVI cable to my monitor, then run a TOSLINK cable to my stereo?

Answer 1

Yes..

You can.. but the Xbox's optical audio out jack is not on the Xbox itself.. it is on the audio/video cable.. if you are planning to use HDMI then you need the Xbox 360 audio adapter cable.. it comes with the Elite.. otherwise you need to buy the Offical Xbox 360 HDMI cable (first link) which comes with the adapter (picture of adapter at second link below)

Good Luck..
