HDMI + Optical on 360

[mmcg]

My surround sound headset arrived today, and when I tried to set it up on my 360, I found that I couldn't fit the HDMI cable and the optical out thingy both at the same time. How do I get both at the same time?

You need an audio breakout cable. They are free with Elite. They have red/white and optical outs

Maybe Ebay?

I think you can use an old HD combo cable too, but I'm 100% if you have to mod it.

EDIT: Like 10 quid from here. Dunno if that is a good price.

You need to buy a special 'Audio Dongle' or you can try taking your component cable to bits, so that you can fit that and the HDMI cable in at the same time.

At your own risk obviously.

Hmm, mine's is an Elite. Gonna have another check in my box.

EDIT: Found it, everything is fine. Cheers for the help.
