Title: turble beach
Post by: bricey on 19 June 2011, 08:22

hey chaps
i had had my pair(wired) for a while now and would like to know how
i can hook them up to the xbox and tv using a hdmi cable?
i currently have to use the carble with all the multi coloured phono plugs on,
i have tried i think in the past to use a hmdi cable and plug the headphones into the back of the tv but didnt get any sound?
do i need to get another plug or something
cheers in advance

my wireless turtle beach 'phones (X41) take the sound from the xbox's digital optical audio port to the wireless base, so it receives proper 7.1 & 5.1 sound. I think you might be stuck with the original wiring unless you look at turtle beaches website, they do a 5.1 converter for it, but that would use digitial optical and not HDMI:

depends on the set you have, I think when plugged into the headphone jack, you need to change it to "play voice through TV and headphones"

should work then :)
