HDMI should be ~$3, TOSLINK should be similar.


Anyway, if all else fails, read the manual. The sound system will probably have come with quite a hefty one unless it's crap/used.
If you don't have a manual, what model is it? The Internet will have one somewhere.

Then connect the TV sound output to your sound system.

Tried that also, picture works, but sound doesn't.
Xbox works fine with the tv/tv speakers, but once I change the settings on the tv remote to use "External speakers" there is no sound.

Bullet: Tried that, picture works but no sound.

TV: LG55ls5700 Sound System: Sony Muteki 7.2
Thanks all for the replies so far
