Soundblaster X-Fi and Xbox 360?

Pankie · 10-11-2009, 09:57 AM

My situation is like this. I have my Soundblaster X-Fi in my PC obviously. I use a Razer Barracuda headset which I like very much. What I want to do is somehow plug my xbox 360 into my soundcard, (line in?) and be able to listen to it through there.

Is there any way to do this?

Also, to make life easier, do any of the newer headsets support this? I know that Dolby has a headset that actually allows you to use it's mic on live.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If the headset has a USB sound interface, you will need an audio repeater like the one that comes with "Virtual Audio Cable" which will digitally transfer the input of the X-Fi to the output of the headset.

The headset is not USB. It is a 5.1 surround razer barracuda hooked up to my sound card.

I use an HDMI cable for my xbox though. What would I need to plug it into line in?
