Xbox Starving Sound From TV!

alext131 · 04-24-2007, 10:52 AM

If i have my Xbox 360 even plugged in, and not turned on it starves all the sound from my SKY and normal TV, i have to either unplug it at the mains, or at the scart extension every time i want to listen to the TV, any way i can overcome this?
Thanks,
Alex

I've had the same issue with my PS2 and SNES/N64/GameCube when using a multi-system cable. The only solution I've found is to disconnect the system I'm not using at that time. I believe the deeper problem is related to the audio hardware inside of the systems themselves and how they respond to being connected.

i think a way to sort this out would be to put the scart of the product that you think is the problem, the Xbox in my case, dircetly into th scart port on the telly, and then the extension in another port. I can't do this as i only have 1 port on the back. If anyone else is having this problem, and gives it a try and it works, could you please post back.
Thanks,
Alex
