Unless you have Dolby Decoder with three 3.5mm outputs for 5.1 or run the 360s optical out into your PCs sound card and have it monitor it to decode the signal into analog for you getting surround sound isn't going to happen. I have a couple X-fi soundcards
and there can be a delay introduced when the sound card is processing a Dolby or DTS input and outputting a corrected analog output. Has more to do with the drivers. Creative drivers have a bad reputation especially when it comes to simultaneous multi-channel
input and output.. I would look for a Dolby Decoder box that has an optical in and three 3.5mm outputs unless always running your PC when you play and buying a $60-70 soundcard sounds like a good solution. The Crystalizer does nothing but act like a semi real
time equalizer and EAX is only useful if your running a game on the PC.

I want to assume that you're describing a "drift" in the controller analog stick.

My very first controller experienced this after playing a lot of BF4. In order to run, you had to press down the analog stick, many times while holding the analog stick in a certain direction to keep moving.

If this is present the PC settings will show as if you're holding it down in a slight direction at all times when left sitting. You could attempt to have the controller replaced..... myservices.xbox.com

Analog and HDMI video cannot be output at the same time. The only AV port device that fits in the console when an HDMI cable is attached is the HDMI AV kit audio adapter. That adapter's no longer needed as the 360 S has an optical out port.



If conventional left/right analog audio is required, use a digital to analog audio converter.

Not without external hardware, and even then it might not be feasible. If you want to record gameplay, an HDMI capture card for PC is probably best.

The TV encoder in the Xbox 360 can not output both composite and HDMI at the same time because it can only handle one output resolution at a time. Simultaneous HDMI and composite output would have forced it to output 480i over HDMI as well. Analog component
was also left out as a consequence, in spite of having common resolutions. So, they simply turn off the analog video DACs when HDMI is detected.

I find it a bit funny that people look back on the 360 controller so fondly. Sure I didn't have any that just stopped working completely but I did have 2 with broken mic jacks and a bunch with drifting analog sticks.

The early 360 white controllers were good but they cheeped out later on and produced junk analog sticks that would only last a few months before they would start drifting.

I'm fine with the X1 controller but the analog sticks seem to still be prone to drifting. They need to beef the analog sticks up but I don't see that happening it's a way for them to sell more controllers.
