An audio mess.

I have a bit of an audio mess I'm trying to get working. I needed a quick solution so I just brainstormed for one second and tried it and nothing worked.

 

I have an HDMI connection from an Xbox 360 ( I know ) into my Asus monitor and an Auxilary cable coming out of the headphone port on the monitor into a 3.5mm to 6.3mm headphone jack into an Asus Essence STX sound card on the Line in port on it. Next, I am trying to get the audio in from this card to playback to my USB headset ( I know the microphone won't work if the whole game audio even does ). I also have a green 3.5mm to left and right ( red and white ) jacks.

I truly have little of an idea about audio things so go easy on me.

 

Do I have to change some settings on Windows, the Xbox, or is this just not going to work with the sound card or what?

 

Thanks for the replies!

Goto manage device settings for you audio hardware in the control panel, select the xonar stx and tick the box next to "listen to this device" then select your USB headphones and make them your default listening device,

 

This should passthrough all the sound from your monitor and your pc to your usb headphones.

Still nothing.

does the monitor have a volume control, and is it up?

are you getting xbox sound to/through the monitor if you plug speakers/headphones into the monitor?

Will work for electronic components and parts

Yea the volume is up. The sound goes to the monitor from the 360 via hdmi from the monitors headphone jack to the sound card via an auxiliary cable and into a 6.3mm jack so it can work in the sound card.

Try using the line in on your onboard sound instead of the soundcard.
