Official RGB cable / Separate audio?

[ChrisF]

As components out of bounds for me (until Microsoft bring out an HDMI cable so I can free up my component connection), I'm stuck with RGB as my hope for best picture.

Question is - does the official RGB cable have audio out connections on it? I need to feed the audio into my separate amp/speaker system you see, and definately dont wont it coming out of my telly.

If the official one doesn't, do any third party ones?

Cheers (and Merry Christmas all! )

No, the official RGB cable has no separate audio outouts, but...

Some of my local (Italian) retailers carry it, it shouldn't be hard to find it in any decent vg shop if you don't want to order it on PA or wait until they restock it.

Crickey. Thanks for the link! A lot cheaper than I was expecting for something like that!

There's the Joytech 245 (or 524...can't remember) with 5 component/composite/s-video and other inputs, but it's more expensive (85 euros), but if you just have to switch between two sources it's kinda useless. I read somewhere here that you can daisy-chain the little YPbPr boxes with no reduction in image quality, too.
