How to Hook Up Sound for Your XBox on an IOGEAR Switcher

The IOGEAR switcher is a device that allows you to connect multiple high-definition devices such as the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, HDTV receivers and Blu-ray players to a single HDMI port on your HDTV. Due to the nature of HDMI cables, which transmit audio and visual signals between devices, you do not need individual cables for each type of signal like you would if you were using the red, white and yellow AV cables associated with older consoles.

Things You'll Need

2 HDMI cables

Instructions

- 1
  Turn off your TV and Xbox 360.
- 2
  Connect one of the HDMI cables to the HDMI port on the back of your Xbox 360. Plug the other end of the cable into one of the "Input" ports on the IOGEAR switcher.
- 3
  Plug the other HDMI cable into the "Output" port on the IOGEAR switch, then plug the other end of the cable into an open HDMI port on your TV. Plug the included power cable into the back of the IOGEAR switch and plug the other end into an electrical outlet.
- 4
  Switch on all of the devices. Use the remote control included with your IOGEAR switch to set it to the correct video port. This will be the port you used to connect your Xbox 360. The ports are labeled 1 through 4, each with a corresponding button on the controller.
