Now I have been thinking of getting a Turtle Beach headset for my 360 but also to use on my PC for stuff like CS:S and recording gameplays etc (I'm assuming they work on CS:S and steam stuff)
Anyway I am currently using HDMi for my 360, I heard you can get an audio adapter or something that will allow you use HDMi and the Turtle Beach headsets. I did a little research but the only places I found show pictures of the HDMi slots being "blocked off" when using an audio adatper?
Am I missing something here? Anyone roll with HDMi and Turtle Beach's that could possible shed some light on what I'd need etc
Xbox 360

The Xbox 360 is the second game console produced by Microsoft Corporation and is the successor to the original Xbox.
HDMi and Turtle Beach
What you'll get is a greasy plain metal stick that you can plug directly into your Xbox, with the HDMI slot open. Just don't be too hard on it, and make sure to have the thing unpugged from your Xbox when you do it. Also, be careful when attaching and detaching the plug from the Xbox, since there's not all that much holding it together. Well, actually, there is, but be careful anyway!
Here's a Google image of the finished product:
Note that it is very difficult to reattach the casing to the plug without glue, or something similar.
If you don't want to break the casing off, you can buy one of these:
It has a plug the same as the regular A/V cable without the case on it.
The problem with this item is that unfortunately, Microsoft charges something like $50 USD for an official one. I found one used at a local game store for a couple dollars, and you could maybe find a decent off-brand one online.
I'd recommend going with the hack, though, as long as you're gentle with the device and don't hold me responsible if you destroy it!
Hope this helps.
