Re: Making A High Quality XBOX Gameplay recording
Do you connect your XBox 360 to your TV using a single cable, HDMI, or a set of multiple cables, component or composite? It doesn't matter which it is if you're using component or composite since the sound connections are the same.
If you're using a single thickish cable, HDMI, between your 360 and your TV you can get an audio adapter which sits in the AV socket of your 360, this socket should be directly above the one your TV cable is connected to in the back of the console. That's the socket your console would use for older connections but the sound connections are still live, the adapter should have two phono sockets one for left and one for right. You'll want to get either a 2 X phono to 3.5mm cable or a 2 X phono to 3.5mm adapter with a 3.5mm cable, then put the 3.5mm end into your sound card's line in. The mic input isn't designed for the signal strength of direct input so it'd give a poor recording if at all, the line in is desi gned for this.
If you're using multiple wires two of these will be phono sound wires, you may need sighted assistance to work this out because they're colour coded or you can just try each wire individually and put it back if it doesn't work. You'll probably want two phono splitters to put in the sockets at your TV end with each one having one of the sound wires in, the other socket should be used for one half of either a 2 X phono to 3.5mm cable or a 2 X phono to 3.5mm adapter with a 3.5mm cable, then just put the other 3.5mm end into your sound card's line in.
Phono sound cables come in pairs of connections, one for left and one for right. This means that changing them to a 3.5mm connection for a PC sound card you'll have a Y shaped cable or adapter, one side of the Y will be for the left channel with the other for the right and the bottom will be your 3.5mm connector like most headphones and speakers use. Splitters are also often a Y shaped adapter except they have a male connector at one end and a pair of sockets at the other. With the second method you'd have the 3.5mm to phono Y adapter connected to both phono splitters, leaving one socket free in each splitter. You then plug the splitter into the TV in place of the audio cables from the 360 and connect the 360's cables into the splitter's open sockets instead.
