Pipe your Xbox360 audio through your PC Speakers in 10 steps.

Note: If you like this tutorial, you might just like my webcomic! It updates 4 times a week and is still going strong!

We now return to your regularly-scheduled tutorial already in progress.

———–

This tutorial was written by me, not pasted from some other site. I came up with this myself.

Step 1: Find what is shown in the photo below

You can click on the image to enlarge it if this size is too small.

This adaptor can be found in the box that your Xbox360 came in. I cannot speak for those bought outside of the US, or if such an adaptor can be found in a Xbox360 Core package box, as I bought the $400 SKU.

**UPDATE: I have been told that I was wrong, and that such an adaptor only comes with the 360 to VGA output adaptor (which I have). If anyone can confirm this, please either email me or comment below because I am unsure.**

**UPDATE 2: CONFIRMED.**

Step 2: Connect the “Red & White Audio” cables to the adaptor as shown in the photo below

Step 3: Connect the adaptor with the audio cables attached to your PC audio input port (where you would regularly plug a mic) as shown in the photo below

Step 4: Connect your speakers (or if your computer doesn’t require powered speakers, your headphones or earbuds) to your computer like you would have them wired regularly, as shown in the photo below

Step 10: Make sure that the “Microphone” volume is unmuted, and I recommend that you make sure that “Mic Boost” is unchecked as shown below or else your audio will be what I can only describe as “crunchy”
