XBOX 360 Audio Problem connected to Projector

kljbaird · 10-01-2007, 11:07 PM

Here is my problem: I cannot get sound

This is what I have:
Optoma EP 716 Projector
TruTech DVD and Surround Sound
XBOX 360

I currently have my DVD/Surround Sound system connected to my projector through the video port. I get sound and picture just fine with my DVD player.

My problem is that I don't get audio when I connect my SVGA HD cord from my XBOX to the projector. My question is, will I get sound if I connect a RCA Type Audio Extension Interconnecter from the SVGA HD cord to the DVD/Surround sound? Or, do I need something else.

Also, if I am able to get sound will I be able to use wireless or cord headphones. That way I can keep the sound down when the wife and kids go to bed. Does this make sense? I don't really know what I am doing.

thanks,
Kevin

If you can get an adapter that allows for RCA->phono then you can plug that directly into the projector. If it were me I'd connect everything through a home theater system and then run a/v cables to the projector.
