I want to amplify volume on my headphones, when connected to xbox360.
I have one of those bigben vga cables for xbox. It basicly splits vga to my screen and jack for whatever input I want.
Now... 360 is made without any amplituner. It is suppose to use tv booster for this.

And my headphones are like 3 times louder on pc than on xbox. Can I somehow use my creative 5/1 pc speakers as amplifier or something? (without turning my pc on)

I don't know much about sound so yeah... Or do I have to buy one of those small amp boxes, in which I would plug 360 jack on back and headphones in front of it?


basicly. jack cable comes out of derpbox. I connect headphones to it via female/female jack connector. Sound is too quiet. WAT TO DO.

I had a similar problem when I used my PS3 a few years back.

I ended up buying a little convertor piece (small cube) where the red/white (or was it yellow) audio cables that plugged into the PS3 were plugged into one side of this cube. On the other side of the cube I plugged in a male 3.5mm jack, and the other end of the 3.5mm jack (also male) I plugged into the sound card on my PC (line in). Then I could adjust my PS3's volume with my computers line in control (using the headphones plugged into my PC as output).


Edit - I found the piece

The downside is it will only output in Stereo, not surround. But it was a cheap solution that worked at the time. Also, the PC obviously has to be on (sorry ).


I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

Noise? You wont even be able to hear out with amplified sound. Razz

Consider getting an Astro audio system.

I completly reject headphones with anything else than leather("leather") earbuds. Right now I have fatality MKII which are very comfortable and I jsut purchased them year ago, so changing is not an option

Bump. I am unlikely to buy anything as it seems this stuff is very hard to find and what ive found was god damn expensive and too big. I copuld just buy new creative speakers which have headphones input, but I like my current speakers which are 5.1 creative cambridge DTT2200
I am using them as 2.1 so some inputs are free to use. Maybe I can somehow plug xbox into that and then headphones into.... speakers or something? I am not sure what i am talking about so I will just post screenshots of my setup Laughing
Target is still the same. Boosting headphones volume from xbox 360.

if, something is possible and wasnt mentioned before, You know my number Razz thx

I bought SteelSeries Cross Platform AudioMixer for my pc and it makes miracles!

Edit: One excellent thing about it is that you can individually change volume on the program you are running atm while you chat using ventrilo and such.


shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.

You can do that in Windows too, or do you mean something else?
