Screw Halo, HD or not.. there are far better, more complex and way better looking games out there. You may as well play Halo on a fucking 13″ old school tube computer monitor. Anyways, thanks for the post man, and even more thanks to the comment by the guy who said to rip off the original cable enclosure to be able to fit Composite + HDMI. You the bomb! Anthony I think your name was… Ya! THanks to you.

@Derek

I did exactly the same thing. The problem is that I get no display on my lcd monitor if I use both cables simultaneously. They work fine if I connect only one at a time. But my monitor has no audio output. Did you encounter any similar problems? Any ideas on what I should do?

I made it work using HDMI for video and the regular AV plug from the back of the xbox. It blocks the HDMI at first but i just got out the old trusty utility knife and trimmed away the plastic on the stock, fat, AV connector to the back of the 360 and BINGO! FREE of charge!

@Tom B: As far as I know, it should work just fine. The Xbox AV connector has just about every video and audio option in one plug, except HDMI (which has its own special connector).

I have the composite cable from an elite, but i don’t have an elite (from my friends old Xbox) and i was wondering if it will work with that, of have they done something to stop it from working?

Alright. Microsoft has offically pissed me off for the last time. I went out today thinking that I could get an HDMI cable and a DVI HDMI female adapter for my HP LCD computer monitior. Excited as hell I hooked everything up right and turned on my Xbox. I get great picture and resolution but the audio is non-existent. How much more money am I going to have to blow on adapters and plugins? Also is there a way to by-pass this? I thought HDMI coverd both Video and Audio.

Ok so i ran into this issue today and I found another way to get use with both the HDMI and A/V for audio…

I took the huge xbox plug out to my shed and grinded it furiously with a grinder to make room for it and the hdmi plug. Lucky for me I didn’t cut any of the splicing in the plug and it works. It’s just abit to ghetto for my tastes.

Sharon and everyone.. I opted for an adapter from eBay. Here’s the listing.. http://cgi.ebay.com/AUDIO-VIDEO-HDMI-AV-CABLEGaming-Cables-For-Xbox-360-new_W0QQitemZ300375706602QQcmdZViewItemQQptZVideo_Games_Accessories?hash=item45efc98bea#ht_3075wt_1166

sharon -> Just a thought, make sure the av cable is plugged in all the way in the back of the xbox. With mine, even when I popped the plastic casing off of the av/component cable, I still couldn’t fit the hdmi and av cable into the xbox at the same time. I had to cut away the metal casing to expose the small pcb board for the audio inside of it. Then I was able to plug it in all the way and was able to get audio.
