    I hooked up my xbox 360 to a HD philips TV and i cant seem to get sound though i get picture... I have the cable turned to HDTV. Do i need a different cable or something.. The xbox will work on the other Tv that aint HD.

    Sure do have all wired up.. the only one missing is the yellow but the manuel tells me to leave these out.. I do believe there is another cable called Xbox 360 VGA HD AV Cable do you know anything about this my tv works fine and the sound is working on channels.. It has me puzzled

    Chances are you have the red and white connections into wrong audio connection. Alot of TV's would have more than one.

    That other cable will give you the exact same audio output options. Why don't you hook the 360 into the surround sound instead of the TV?

    im having the same problem as this. dont think that vga hd cable will make a difference as it connects to a monitor or a tv with a pc connection. the red, green and blue connections on the original xbox 360 cable are the ones you are supposed to use but as i said its not working for me either. has anyone got the hd working??

    yup I have a 32" samsung and it works fine. It takes 5 cables though not just the red green and blue, you also need the red and white audio cables.

    To the OP, does the sound work using the composite input on your TV?
