Hello . I have topic like yours but no one know  how to make this out . In my topic only you can und this :
the xbox won't be able to drive your headphones directly, it only has signal output for sound. you would need some kind of amplifier. maybe you could pull apart an old pc speaker (amplified) and use the guts of that to run your headphones
Here is the topic ( don have a big helpful inf ) : http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=643207

Yeah, I already seen that. But a few years back, I seen a thread with a schematic and everything on how to do it. I think I might just try it on my own and see what happens. I think all I need to do is just run the Audio wires from my AV board to the proper connections on the Headphone port. I'll try it later on tonight.

Alright I just figured out a way to run the Headphone Port sitting in class right now:

1. So your going to need to install the Standard AV Mod on your Xbox.
2. Take the Audio Plugs and plug them into (IMG:http://rsk.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pRS1C-3148993w345.jpg).
3. Then plug that into (IMG:http://rsk.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pRS1C-2801065w345.jpg) and plug up your headphones into the leftover port and you got sound.
4. Dont worry about the other Jack hanging around.

ok i tried it myself to see if it will work. i just hacked together some sockets i had lying around to convert the RCA to 3.5mm socket.
it does actually work, supprisingly. but it seems that the right audio is not as loud as the left. maybe this is because its not designed to run headphones directly (the xbox would only contain a preamp)

Show me a Schematic. and try chaging the sound output inthe dash. Make sure it's not on Surround Sound or Mono.

its sorta too simple for a schematic but here is one
simply conncect right to right  and left to left

The sound quality will be horrible, and not loud enough.

If you don't want to spend a lot of money on a quality headphone amp (which i'm sure is the case, seeing as you're going about hooking headphones up straight to your xbox) i recommend getting  a cheap headphone amp ($40) and plug your headphone into the amp.

Im doing something like this for a mod right now. What it is, is i tore apart a Monitor-mountable Dell PC speaker and it had 2 headphone ports and the amp and blah blah blah.

The on/off Switch/Headphone jacks,and DC Plug are easily movable to the back but now my question remains.

Where are the Left/Right audio grounds?!?! also ive heard that when the audio is grounded to something else even when the A/V cord is in you get no audio? is this true or what?
