Audio help please!

I have a VGA cable which I have attached to my PC monitor. It's a good pic but I can't get any sound out of it. Anyway, I was wondering whether there is a way of attaching my bog standard PC speakers (normal stereo, but better than nothing) to the 360 or to the VGA so that I have some sound.

Cheers.

The VGA cable should have come with a stereo adapter to plug your PC speakers into.

Did you buy the official 360 VGA cable or a 3rd party version?

The official VGA cable comes with one of these. You plug the left/right audio plugs into it and then the little plug goes to your PC speakers. I believe this is what you'll need. Anything that converts RCA to 3.5mm Stereo like this should work.

A belated thanks. I've put the audio bits of the VGA cable into the TV as a short term measure, but that looks like it might work.
