Xbox 360/Monitor Problem.

In order to connect a monitor to your Xbox 360 you will need an Xbox 360 VGA HD adapter or if your monitor has Hdmi a HDMI cable. Depending on your monitor you may need to setup a headset or speakers for sound but alot of monitors nowadays come either I
built or packaged with the monitor.

It's possible that the Xbox 360 thinks the monitor doesn't support the timings for 1920x1080.

Disabling display discovery makes the Xbox 360 ignore some of the EDID data but not all. Maybe if it thinks the resolution is out of range in terms of bandwidth for the monitor the Xbox 360 still hides it.

So my instinct is that it is a compatibility issue where the EDID data given by the monitor is either self-contradictory or the Xbox 360 misinterprets it. If so, there is no immediate solution except to report the issue to Microsoft and the monitor manufacturer
and cross ones fingers.

I have the same problem. Have an old tv that I use for my 360. For next gen im going to get an asus or benq computer monitor. Supposedly monitors with there faster response time over tvs is supposed to be better for online shooters. And you can pick up monitors
cheaper than a tv but the only problem is the size of them.

use a HDMI cable connect the xbox to the monitor.

You can also use a HDMI to DVI cable as well.

Go into your console settings menu on the Xbox 360 to switch resolutions. The Xbox 360 uses 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p resolutions. If the monitor is not compatible with all resolutions, switch your Xbox 360's resolution to one that is compatible
with your monitor's capabilities. use the audio out on your Xbox 360 to connect to a stereo or other source for sound.

What cables are you using to connect the Xbox to the Monitor? Please look at the links that go to pictures of the possible connectors:

HDMI

DVI

Composite (don't confuse it with Component below. Composite has THREE plugs:
Yellow for video, Red/White for Stereo Audio right/left)

Component (similar to Composite, but has FIVE plugs: red/green/blue for video, red/white for stereo audio)

Keep in mind, that if you use a HDMI to DVI adapter, audio can NOT be transmitted, as DVI can't carry Audio.

It might also be that your monitor just doesn't have any speakers so it can't output audio. But without knowing the exact make and model of your monitor, we can't be sure. So check if it's possible to find the make and model of the monitor.

The speakers you mention have
chinch/RCA stereo input plugs in the back. So if you are using a composite or component cable, you can simply plug the red/white plugs of the console cable into the input plugs of the speakers and get sound if you set the console to play stereo audio in
the console settings.

You can NOT use the USB connection of the speakers.
