" Both the HDMI and AV cable might not fit together. If they don't, then you'll either have to remove the plastic shell around the AV cable, or purchase whatever Microsoft released to fix this problem. That fix may come with a steep price, though. So, for me personally, I just cracked open the case so that both HDMI and AV cables fit snugly. "
Did that work for you? Because I wasn't able to get my speakers activated when I tried that. Ended up having to shell out for another set regardless. "
I can confirm this works as I'm using it at the moment. HDMI going to the monitor, and AV cables going to a converter ending up at my desktop speakers.
The only issue is the 360 will restart whenever you switch out of HDMI mode on the monitor.
I use the Samsung XL2370 both for PC and 360 gaming, and I love it.
"
I'm glad you said that. How did you go about getting the sound from the game and the image to the screen? Since screens usually don't have speakers that the HDMI cable can send sound through, how did you do it? "
I actually have both the A/V cable and HDMI cable plugged in to the 360 at the same time. You can crack open the A/V cable case pretty easily so that both will fit at the same time.
The A/V cable then runs to a composite to stereo jack like HitmanAgent47 posted a picture of above. That then feeds into a female to female jack which you can plug headphones, or your speakers into on the other end.
