Please pass on a link to your adapter. You should be fine if you're getting video off the cable alone. You will need a particular adapter that splits audio from an HDMI port to a 3.5mm analog output if you'd like to connect a speaker system or a pair of analog headphones with an inline volume controller.

On second thoughts, is it an Xbox One or the previous Xbox 360?

It is an Xbox one S .I bought the adapter from a nearby store
The adapter as you mentioned has aux port to it (along with hdmi and vga on either side)but it is generic chinese also when i touched the cable inserted at one side to monitor i felt a small shock- like feeling
