Please help!!!!!Connecting xbox 360 to a monitor

Algis Silkauskas · Aug 8, 2014

i really need someone help here....i bought a monitor (Acer G226HQL 22" Monitor) that has no built in speakers and i did not realize that it only has 3 outports. The Dvi port (i have a cable for it and it has a HDMI on the other end and i connected it my xbox). The other port is D-SUB which is not in use. And the last one is for powering the monitor.

i want to connect my tritton headset to it so i can play games through my headset, but the problem is that i dont knowhere to put the female green sound jack AND the red and white cable.

i have already put my main cable (for the xbox) in with the HDMi.

So my question is....How and where do i put the last 3 wires so i can start plying my games.

im sooo sorry if this is confusing in any way but im really desperate to get this fixed.

i dont want to buy a speaker or anything else...only additional wires to solve this problem...

Thank you for reading this and if you can help me in any way, i will be so happy.

Your monitor does not have any audio interface, doesn't seem possible.

Look up the monitor... I didnt notice it myself. i regret buying it. It does not have no audio output

You can get a headphone adapter that should plug into the xbox controller and give you sound, something like this should work:

http://www.amazon.com/2-5mm-3-5mm-Female-Stereo-Adapter/dp/B001078FV8

you can also get one of these:

and follow the instructions on this video:

i understand why i would need the second one (http://www.amazon.com/CablesOnline-Stereo-Splitter-Adapter-AV-Y14G/dp/B00EG1S5N8/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1407529612&sr=8-12&keywords=female+rca+to+35mm+female)

But why do i need the first one? (http://www.amazon.com/2-5mm-3-5mm-Female-Stereo-Adapter/dp/B001078FV8)

sorry am no good with stuff like this

Algis Silkauskas :

If you are using an actual 360 controller, there is a headphone plug on the controller itself. If you hold it normally, it will be on the edge facing you. The plug is smaller than a normal headphone jack, so the adapter I linked should plug a normal 3.5mm headphone jack to fit the 2.5mm plug on the controller. That should work.

The second that I mentioned is an alternative in case plugging into the controller doesn't work. The video I linked should explain what to do with it

if i only buy the "CablesOnline 6 inch Stereo Splitter 3.5mm Female to 2-RCA Audio -Jack Adapter (AV-Y14G)" and plug it in. will i be able to talk to my friends? on xbox live?

Algis Silkauskas · Aug 8, 2014

do i need to buy this instead http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-5mm-AUX-Male-to-2-RCA-Female-Splitter-Cable-Stereo-Audio-Adapter-Cord-/290999785327?pt=AU_Television_Accessories&hash=item43c0f0576f

then plug it into the 2.5mm (Male) To 3.5mm (Female) Stereo Audio Jack Adapter???

Algis Silkauskas · Aug 8, 2014

and after plug the 2.5 into the controller?

bdiddytampa · Aug 8, 2014

You will not be able to use the mic at all with any of these solutions unfortunately :-/ I'll look into it see if I can come up with something

Algis Silkauskas · Aug 8, 2014

well as a still have the D-sub port available could i use it?

plug the red and white wires into this .....http://uk.suntekstore.com/goods.php?id=10004164&utm_source=gbuk&utm_medium=paid .........and then plug the adapter in the free slot?

bdiddytampa · Aug 8, 2014

That adapter is only for input unfortunately :-/

bdiddytampa · Aug 8, 2014

There really is no way to use the mic on a headset without it being Xbox compatible :-/ you will only be able to hear your games.

Algis Silkauskas · Aug 8, 2014

if it had a audio input...would it all work properly? i mean...mic and sound?

bdiddytampa · Aug 8, 2014

There is no way to get the mic on your headset to work with your Xbox, not that I can find anyway :-( sorry man.

Algis Silkauskas · Aug 8, 2014

thank you so much

im talking in general...im thinking of buying another monitor, with HDMi, with audio and speakers...

bdiddytampa · Aug 8, 2014

Actually just found this which may work

http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-PC-Headset-Adapter-PC35-Xbox360/dp/B0035AMM76

My PC headset is worlds better than my 360 Headset

Algis Silkauskas · Aug 8, 2014

Algis Silkauskas · Aug 8, 2014

Algis Silkauskas :

Yes exactly, that should work with any headset that has a separate mic and headphone cable

Good luck!
