How much is the Official Xbox 360 VGA HD AV cable?

EDIT: I only have the moniter but would I need a PC?

  As long as you use the mini jack adapter and your monitors built ins or you have a stereo system in reach of the StereoRCAs you will be fine. Also if your sound system has an optical input you can run a cable from the VGA adapter but you would have to purchase the optical line.

Methinks people first post and perhaps then later read on.
One of many, last of two.

I agree. I have a nice 20" VGA/Digital monitor. I even have a HDMI to Digital cable. When I tried it the 360 would display the image, of course, there was no sound output. I'll buy another cable if needed. Wait, is there a cable I want. OK I'll go look around but I'll leave this here to track any answers. Great guide, BTW

If you're using the HDMI port on the 360, you can get sound to speakers/pc by using the 360 Component Cable and stripping part of the plastic casing so that you can plug both the Component Cable and HDMI into the 360.  Then use a 3.5mm Male stereo to two RCA Female adapter to PC line-in, or whatever you need to connect to your speaker setup.

Also, if you don't wanna strip the shielding off of a cable, there are a few third-party cables that will fit next to an HDMI cable -- my third-party VGA cable fits (albeit a little snugly, but not enough to make me fear damaging either port), which I use for S/PDIF output to my receiver. You can also just use one cable by buying MS's HDMI cable that has combo optical digital/stereo RCA connectors, but you'll still need to get an HDMI-to-DVI adaptor for video on top of the 3.5mm-to-RCA for sound. By the time you do all of that, you probably might as well just buy a new monitor with HDMI ports.

I have a question, currently i am using one of the adapters to where i can plug in regular PC speakers to my HD AV Cable for Sound, But i have these Creative Soundblaster 5.1 Speakers that i would rather use , the thing is though, they have a lot more cables to plug in in order to get 5.1. What i do for my computer is i plug them into this sound card http://i00.twenga.com/computers/sound-card/creative-labs-sound-blaster-audigy-se-p_15039vb.png

So how can I make it work with my Xbox 360?

The only way I can think of from the top of my head is putting the adaptor on the audio leads of the cable and putting it in the mic in port on the PC and turning up the volume on the mic in control panel (been a long time since I've used a PC in this manner so sorry if it's inaccurate). This would require the PC being on when using the speakers.

I'm not sure if this will give 5.1 or not though.
