Hey all,
I have been using a Mad Catz Ultra AV pack for surround sound for my xbox for a few years now, and just bought me a HDTV. The av pack has connections for fibre optic audio (which is what I've been using wired directly to the surround sound receiver), RCA audio/vid which I was using for my vid, and component video, which I just hooked up.
After hooking up the video (pull both triggers and click both thumbsticks to initiate HD at the Xbox dashboard) the audio doesn't work anymore. I unhooked it and set it up the way I had it before and it still doesn't work. If I connect it through the RCA cables it works but the fibre optic method is having issues.
Connecting the PS2 with the fibre optic cable works fine still, so it must be the madcatz jobby. I've altered the xbox settings for audio/video where necessary, as well.
Any Xbox gurus around the boards have some shareable knowledge on this subject?

Thanks for reading.

I went and bought a new fibre optic cable, which solved the problem (the old one still works with the PS2 though, go figure).

Glad you solved it, im still waiting till 2nd or 3d generation xbox360's so they can work out the bugs.

Good move.  I'm also holding off for a bit.  By the sounds of things, the majority of the first batch of 360's was flawed.  I'm interested in the PS3 as well, but, like the 360 I think it'll be smart to wait and see.

The XBOX 360 pwns PS3 big time, starting w/ the price and also I don't CARE if the HD-DVD drive is external... All consoles from all companies that are the 1st Generation or Batch will come with flaws. Always, but microsoft seems to have the worst amount of bugs per a 1st Generation release than all of the other consoles. Always good, especially Microsoft to wait for a 2nd Generation before buying because of better upgrades (Hopefully) and lots of fixes.
