Hi, my name is Harry (I'm pretty new to the site)
And i have a question for you all!
I'm having a little issue with connecting my speakers to my monitor or my xbox one and 360. I usually pretty decent with Tech, however audio is my major weakpoint, as i know next to nothing about other than what 5.1 and 7.1 means.
So i would appreciate any help with this from anyone. ***If other forums ask this question i apologise, like i said, i'm awful with audio and imagined it would be easier asking it for myself, so just a heads up, i'm not making my own forum because im lazy and ignorant lol***
Devices involved with my Issue:
Creative A520 5.1 Speaker set
Asus VS247H Monitor
Xbox One
Xbox 360
(I will post pictures at the end of what the ports these devices have the cable i need to connect to them)
A little background here, basically i used to use my speakers connected to my gaming PC when i first got it but eventually got a headset and only used my speakers for watching films, but after i while i just unplugged my speakers all together. 2-3 years later (now), i decided to unplug my consoles from my TV on the wall, and now have my xbox one, 360 and PC all at my desk and play them through my monitor. However, because my Monitor cant play sound like my TV, i had to dig my speakers out so i could get sound while playing my consoles, without wearing my uncomfortable headsets for my consoles. (My headset for my PC is the only comfortable one i own)
Thats the background, now my issue is, unlike with my PC, i cannot connect my speakers to my Monitor or either consoles. The cables i need to plug into my devices are the set of cables that come bunched together. (The cable that has a Black, Orange and Green end to them)
Neither my Monitor nor my Xbox's have ports that i can connect the speakers into unlike my PC had. I assume i need an adapter to plug my speakers in. (My monitor does have a headphone jack, so maybe i could do something with that)
And even though i have 5.1 surround sound speakers, i actually do not care about getting surround sound from them. I'm fine just using my Left, Right and Central speakers. Normal speaker sound is actually what i want.

And here is a YT of someone (poorly) setting up the speakers, not the best video but it might help you guys see what im working with:
https/www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmExNYVubQY (He is connecting to a PC, i want to connect it to my both my xbox's or my monitor, which will save me from plugging it into my other xbox everytime i want to go on another console)
****Now, i hope i have explained my issue and what i need help with, i feel like i wrote way too much but better safe than sorry eh?. Any help will be greatly appreciated, so thanks in advance.****
