Xbox 360 game sound through headset

audio-hardwarecontrollersxbox-360

I recently purchased a converter so that I could hook up my PC headset to my Xbox 360 controller. However, when I try to use it, no sound comes through the headset.

I do not have Xbox Live gold, and I do not need to listen to the voices of other people, nor do I need to play my voice through the headset. I do, however, want to be able to play my Xbox on my computer monitor, which has no speakers attached.

I can hook up video to the monitor with a HDMI cable, but I can't hear the sound through the headset. Is the converter broken, do I have a setting wrong, or is it just not something I can do? Is there a way for me to connect the headset directly to the Xbox 360?

Best Answer

So, you require an Xbox stereo connector. It is a $15 cable to connect sound to external stereo(or headphones with RCA or a 3.5mm headphone to RCA converter($2)). The question has been answered before in the question "connecting an xbox 360 to a computer screen. I will look for the link for you, though figured you want an answer sooner than later.
