XBOX QUESTION
|
New member Username: Morpheus2124Post Number: 2 Registered: Dec-04 | Is it necessary to have the optical cable and the AV pack? I have my xbox connected to the surround sound system and every speaker works except for the back middle speaker. The sound effects still come out of the back and the main stereo comes out the front. Are these cables neccessary??? Please Answer. Thanks. |

sunny627 Unregistered guest | I agree, I'm using this "pheonix brand" component and fiber audio from on my xbox. It's a child company of monster, my buds work at best buy retailer and corp offices. But since using the new cable, halo 2 using digital 5.1 with my yamaha 5760 and klipcsh surround sound, is amazing, you can hear soungs behind youlike no other. I would greatly suggest getting a fiber connetion if your receiver can handle it. Just my two cents, Cheers! |

New member Username: Morpheus2124Post Number: 3 Registered: Dec-04 | I just bought the HD advanced pack and a 12 foot optical cable and hooked it up through my KOSS KS5190 surround sound system, through my HDTV ADVENT TV and the sound is incredible but it is almost a second delay from the sound coming out of the TV. I cant believe that the optical cord isnt putting the audio through faster. WHY is that?? Whats with the delay???? |
|
Anonymous | I am having the same delay problem on the very same unit, is there any way to repair it? Or should I take it back? |

New member Username: StevetracyPost Number: 4 Registered: Jan-05 | Just wanted to add something here. I have been playing Halo (1) for a few weeks now through my DD 5.1 system. I use an optical connection and I actually jumped the other night when one of those big Flood guys came up behind me and jumped on my back. So yes you really do "need" the optical connection and the AV pack. |

Die Hard Yammy Unregistered guest | In response to PETERS delay problem. You should probably turn the sound on your tv off, thats most likely whats causing the delay. if you have full surround your centre channel should replace the TV speakers. Optical question: Optical cable is a digital cable for receiving DOLBLY DIGITAL,DTS sound. Without an internal, or external DOLBY DIGITAL, DTS decoder you will not receive 5.1 Digital sound. |
|
some guy in canada that is angry he doesnt have surround sound. Unregistered guest | ok. so, all i need is a reciever that supports dd decoder right. where would a optical cable plug into my tv though. And do i need dts decoding for surround sound to work on my xbox. |
|
Aaron S. Miller Unregistered guest | Some Guy, Yes, all you need is a reciever that is Dolby Digital. However, you do not run the digital cable from the TV to your stereo (Unless you have a HDTV w/tuner built in, and even then you wont get the sound from your X-Box).. You need to have the jack pack for the X-Box that has the Digital connection on it. I think I spent like $40.00 on my HD-Pack which is component video + optical. You then run the digital cable from the X-Box to the A/V reciever. And then turn down you TV all the way, because there will be a delay in sound. |

Unregistered guest | I just bought a modded xbox, including an "advanced scart cable" with optical cable. I plugged the optical cable in my reciever, and I can hear sound, but not 5.1 sound. I tried to choose to use 5.1 sound in Settings in the Dashboard, but there is not that option availible. Only mono, stero and Dolby surround are showing. What is wrong? Doesn't nmy xbox "feel" that I have cables that support surround sound? |

Bronze Member Username: Arrow224Post Number: 54 Registered: Mar-05 | Pollisoft: select Dolby surround. The Xbox does DD surround sound, not DTS. |

Silver Member Username: Joe_cOakwood, Ga Post Number: 295 Registered: Mar-05 | polli , the opening load up of xbox is pro logic anyway so unless you feed it a 5.1 source you will only hear pro logic . |

Unregistered guest | I have an X-Box problem though... just got the Monster digital audio cable adapter w/monster component video and the digital audio pops & warbles (analog is good). You can tell there is more audio layering in the games, but it sounds like crap constantly popping. Any ideas? |

Unregistered guest | Hey, I just bought me some optical cables and the connections for Dolby Digital Surround Sound. I have my computer speakers hooked up to my sound card and also have my xbox sound hooked up to that sound card also but when I play on the xbox there is like a .5mil sec delay. Could anyone please help me out here. I tried changing the hertz and some other little things just to see if it would work but no luck. Thanks theduke PLEASE EMAIL ME IF YOU HAVE A ANSWER theduke204@gmail.com |
|
tHeDukE Unregistered guest | Well not a .5 mill sec delay I meant like one sec delay |
|
Jeppo1 Unregistered guest | When you plug in the Advanced AV and it gives you the option of DTS or DD what does that effect. I mean does it effect games and movies or just games or what. The reason I ask is because some DVDs give ya the option to change to DTS in the setup menu. So if you change it to DTS on the DVD and the Xbox is set to DD what would happen? Just curious. |
