what and where is this cable?

[Jhill1]

if i was hooking up my xbox 360 to my monitor with the vga cable, which cable would i need to convert my 5.1 computer speaker set up into speakers for the xbox? there must be some cable that converts the green orange and black cables into the RCA red and white cables.... right?

thanks

not a cable, that i know of. I am using a little converter box that came with her set of logitech 5.1 speakers. it is designed for just that purpose. i'll try and find a link, or part # or something.

EDIT: it's these speakers that come with the converter: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836121126

If your speakers have S/PDIF inputs, or if your sound card has S/PDIF inputs, you can use that instead of the analog connection if you wish. For that you'll need a standard TOSLINK optical cable. The red and white analog connections will not give you discrete 5.1 audio, but you may be given the option of upmixing depending upon your equipment.

You can read about this here and here.
