Getting audio from the xbox x series when connected to a computer screen

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Joke, unfortunately it is not possible, Microsoft removed the optical output of audio that was coming from the console.

As you are connecting the console by HDMI on the monitor, it would have to have an audio output as the TV's have.

Many monitors have headphone 3.5mm jacks for output. The entire consumer electronics industry has eliminated optical and analog outputs.

HDMI splitters may introduce lag

You have two options

1- Buy a TV. Monitors are just TVs with tweaked firmware they Jack the price on. Any TV in the market is perfectly fine for gaming above the lowest tier

2- Buy a receiver with HDMI switching. Many of these support Bluetooth, which Xbox does not.

Hi Georges!

Thanks a lot for your quick and clear answer. I m not very technical at all, so i now dont have to spend hours trying to make it work. Where are the days you just plugged in your super nintendo, the game and ready. :-D

Why would Microsoft make it easy when difficult works fine as well.

Enjoy the rest of your evening!

Best regards Joke

Hello again, there are two more possibilities, if your monitor has no sound output, the first are hdmi spliters with sound output, you can easily find on e-bay.

And the second would be to connect a sound cable with P3 connector at the output of the controller and connect the other end of the cable on your audio device.

Good evening

To get Xbox audio through your Logitech Z200 speakers, which are connected to your AOC Gaming Q27G2E monitor via a 3.5mm jack, you'll need to make sure the audio is properly routed from your Xbox Series X to the monitor.

Check your monitor's audio input: First, make sure that your monitor (AOC Gaming Q27G2E) is capable of receiving audio through its 3.5mm audio input. Typically, monitors that have built-in speakers or an audio output port (3.5mm jack) also have an audio input option.

Connect the Xbox to the monitor: Use an HDMI cable to connect your Xbox Series X to the AOC Gaming Q27G2E monitor. This will handle the video signal.

Connect the speakers to the monitor: Plug the 3.5mm jack of your Logitech Z200 speakers into the audio output port on your monitor. This port should be labeled as an audio output or a headphone icon.

Configure Xbox audio settings: Once the physical connections are set up, you need to configure the audio settings on your Xbox Series X:

a. Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide.

b. Navigate to the System tab (gear icon) using the controller.

c. Go to Settings > General > Volume & audio output.

d. Under the "Speaker audio" section, select "HDMI audio."

e. Make sure to set "Headset audio" to "Off" or "Do nothing" since you're using the external speakers through the monitor.

Adjust the monitor's audio settings: On your AOC Gaming Q27G2E monitor, locate the on-screen display (OSD) menu button. This button may be labeled as "Menu" or have an icon of a monitor with buttons. Access the OSD menu and navigate to the audio settings. Ensure that the audio input is set to "3.5mm" or "Analog" to receive audio from the Xbox connected via HDMI.

Test the audio: After making these adjustments, play a game or video on your Xbox Series X to test the audio output through the Logitech Z200 speakers connected to your monitor.

If everything is set up correctly, you should now be able to hear the audio from your Xbox Series X through your Logitech Z200 speakers connected to your AOC Gaming Q27G2E monitor via the 3.5mm jack. Adjust the volume using the monitor's built-in controls or the volume control on the speakers themselves.
