not sure if this is the right place, anyways.  I have a sound system that i want to connect to, problem is i use the HDMI output from the xbox, and with that i dont know how to connect to my amplifier now.  I used to just use the fiber optics output from the AV cables. but now with the HDMI i dont have that option.   how do i connect my amp now?

Use the AV cables along with HDMI and plug your fiber optics in...you might have to modify the cables so that HDMI will fit.

If you buy the official Microsoft licensed HDMI cord, it comes with a separate attachment that's just the audio av cables to hook up to a surround sound system or anything of your choosing. Even though they may be on the expensive side, it's the best way to go.

oooo thats what that thing is for. i left it in my box for the longest time
