It didn't work for me. The HDMI over rode anything from the vga cable, it was as if the vga cable wasn't even plugged in.  What does work is buying the official hdmi cable kit from MS as it has an RCA and Optical audio adapter included for those tv and receivers that don't support audio over HDMI.

Well I'm having the same issues sort of. I saw this link and was wondering if anyone has tried it especially with a new falcon board. http://www.chadledford.com/?p=50

Thanks for the link!!! That should work! Guess I'll have to tear my component cable apart then. First I'm gonna get a decent HDMI cable.

Well I guess stripping the VGA-cable will work aswell if done right? Don't want to screw my MS component cable when I have a cheap 10 euro VGA cable.

accat13, thank you, followed that link aswell and the last page now there is explained exactly how to do it with a VGA-cable. I had a 15 euro cheap VGA-cable and didn't want to screw up my MS component cables and ok it was a bit harder to do, but doable. Now I have HDMI video and 5.1 sound via the optical on the VGA-cable without the VGA and HDMI interfering and giving problems (rebooting). Thanks   ! Works like a charm, and the image looks sweet
