quote: No, you'll only get sound out of your front 2/3 speakers, so not ideal if you're wanting full surround sound. On the other hand if your TV isn't a shit spec LCD like mine, you might have an optical out on your tv to connect it up to your surround sound, this should give you 5.1 | |

I'm using component cable from the Xbox to the tv but the audio connectors connected to my stereo. | |

I believe it's one or the other, i've got my xbox connected to my tv and then i just use the headphone jack on the tv to connect it to my amp with a phono lead, not the best quality you can get, but works fine for my needs | |

can i just use the lead that comes with the xbox with the optical output on it for the surround sound and the hdmi output for the visual? or will they both not work together? | |

Depends what set up you have really.. If your surround sound has HDMI inputs and outputs then you can connect your HDMI on your Xbox up to your surround sound input and your TV to your surround sound output | |

If your surround sound has optical in then you can use a normal av lead from the xbox with the casing took off and plug the optical in the normal plug (thats how mine is ) | |

your tv probally wont have an optical cable pass through if it does it definetly will not wont 5.1 dolby through to your surround it would only be 2 channel stereo if any thing. | |

You need an amp, then connect the tv to the amp. Or without the amp try and connect the tv to the surround sound, won't be as good though. | |
