Ok, i have my computer and my xbox360 hooked up to the same monitor and i switch back and forth with the source button on my monitor, however i have the problem that my computer has a sound card with the 3.5m jacks that i have hooked up to a computer surround sound and my xbox 360 just has the red and white cables that i have hooked up to a different surround sound.. thus i have 10 speakers on my computer desk.. which sucks.. i need to know if there is cable that will convert the sound card jacks to the red and white audio cables so i can hook them up to the same speakers and eliminate the clutter.
sound card to speaker converter

nope it would only take 2 channels. You could just run the 2 front but what is the fun in that. I guess you could run 3 cables for 5.1. Would be cheap but I do not know how that will effect your sound quality. Do you have a sound card or do you use onboard? Does you tuner have optical in and your sound have optical out spdif I believe? Might be a better question in the audio section for those guys no far more than i do.

I have a soundcard, and yeah no fun for just running the front speakers, if i cant do that is there any way to run my 360 through my pc and have it play through my pc speakers? i'm sure i can do it with a tv tuner card but i dont think any of them will recieve HD am i right?

Maybe a KVM switch would do the trick for you? If you got a decent enough one you could route your video and audio through there. Press 1 button and it'd switch it from input A (computer) to input B (xbox).
I don't have any experience with it, but give it a shot.
