    Just be mindful that if you're using a telly with more than 1 source (ie you use it for gaming as well as watching sky etc) that if you switch source mid game (say to check on the footy scores etc) then switch back, your Xbox will reset itself. There is a fix for this though, which involves opening up the xbox lead the optical cable plugs into and snipping a wire

    Can you define switching source do you mean via an HDMI switch box OR do you mean changing HDMI channels on the TV?

    These look great, http://www.turtlebeach.com/products/...e-x41-pbt.aspx will this just work or do I require extra cables? My TV doesn't have an optical input

    Go through the sound options in the dash and turn off DTS, I had a similar problem til I did this.
