So i have a 7.1 audio card in my computer that works fine with the surround sound plugged into it.
Then wanting to use my monitor for other things i decided to use an HDMI cable to play my xbox on it, but was curious about the sound issue because there are no speakers on the monitor. On the back of the monitor was an audio out jack, so i got an audio cable to go from the monitor to my computer's input. Now when im on the computer the audio is fine, but as soon as i switch HDMI cables to the xbox there is a loud buzzing in the speakers and i cannot figure out why.

Any help please.

Thanks

Hello,

That audio jack from the monitor contains audio signal from HDMI; usually, you can use an external amplifier/powered speakers. You can also use it as an input signal for your PC, but only with LINE IN. If you already use LINE IN, please check the audio output levels on XBOX and input levels on PC. Also, make sure the audio XBOX output matches the HDMI audio input from the monitor; what monitor are you using by the way?

I have an Acer S271HL and its currently set up like:
Xbox-> HDMI-> Monitor-> 3.5mm Audio Cable-> Line in on computer

The sound on the xbox does work i can hear the sounds its supposed to make but on top of that there is a louder buzzing coming out of the speakers.

Check if the audio cable from monitor to PC is not getting loose from the plugs; also try another audio cable, maybe the cold wires (the cable metallic shield) got interrupted.
