Help: Connect Xbox Monster Optical to X-Fi . . .

hartigan · 29-September-06, 08:41 PM

If anyone could help me I'd greatly appreciate it!!

I have the Monster Gamelink 400x Component running from my X-Box (first gen) to my Dell 2405FPW and the Monster Lightwave 100x incorporated for sound through optical.

I'm trying to run the sound from the 400x's dongle, through the Lightwave 100x, to my X-Fi Elite Pro's Optical-In port on the I/O box and I'm unable to get sound from the X-Box.

Any suggestions as to what settings I should use to route the sound through the Optical-In on my X-Fi so I can hear my X-Box?

I hope I explained that clearly enough. If you need addt'l details, LMK.

Thank you!!

Double Check the sound card and also windows audio properties to make sure that line input isn't muted.

The only thing muted on the X-Fi's console is the Mic-In and the Windows Volume control has nothing muted.

I appreciate the suggestions!! Anything else you can think of?

Never mind - I had to change the SPDIF Input to Dolby Digital /DTS SPDIF-In decode. I'm all set now!!

Thanks !!
