how to hook up xbox to pc

[Yeasman]

I have an xbox 360 that id like to hook up to one of my pc monitors, however although im running the monitors from a hdmi cable, there are no speakers thus no audio. Is there a way i can run a usb cable to my pc and then use my pc as a "harbor"  that i can pass audio and image through ? Like some kind of mod for my xbox. thx !

Do your monitors offer audio pass-through? Most monitors with HDMI that I've seen have output ports (3.5mm) that pass through HDMI audio.

unfortunately no

You probably want an HDMI audio extractor

The only way to do this is to hook up the 360 to an HDMI capture device.

Your question is confusing. If you want to connect the Xbox to your PC for image pass through, you need a capture card. If you just want to pass the audio through your PC, you can do so depending on your Xbox 360 version. The S version had S/PDIF and E version has 3.5 mm jack for this purpose.

He would probably want a 3.5mm jack, not RCA/SPDIF

you could pickup an older home theatre surround unit that has hdmi passthru (soundbars can have this too) 

this setup then is 360 hdmi to soundbar/theatre then hdmi to tv

Then he can run a 3.5mm cable from the audio out there into the audio in on his motherboard's integrated sound. That what I used to do with my 360 (though it was over VGA since I bought one of the early models that couldn't output to HDMI),
