Xbox 360 HDMI cable and HD AV component cables? Turtle beach headset.?
I need help with this. I have a ‘32 720 LCD HDTV and I also have an HDMI cable. I know how to set it up but what if i don’t want the sound coming out of the tv? I have a turtle beach headset in which i want the sounds coming out of.
BTW, my tv doesn’t have any audio out ports.
I understand, you’re referring to the fact you want the benefit of the HDTV graphics but want to isolate the sound via your awesome surround sound headset.
Been there, doing that.
Use an original XBOX HD cable (as in the one that offered BOTH standard Y/R/W and R/W + Red/Green/Blue – that cable includes the Fiber Optic plug you need for your Turtle Beach headphones.
Trust me, the graphics will not suffer at all – HD on red/green/blue RCA is no different from HD using the HDMI cable.
Good luck!
