sosai880 Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 I have the big green monster cable microsoft but i'm searching for the missing cable of the optical output. ( Do not see light trought the connection of the optical, so it is broken ?) I am searching for the official microsoft component + optical ( to compare) if you have too, but they are easy to find on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 I thought that the Monster cable needed a adaptor to use Toslink.

sosai880 Posted August 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) Yes I need it principaly because a optical cable (all brand) can to be find easy I think. There is no light in the small hole when the mine is plug to the xbox . Don't know if it's normal.

SS_Dave Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 The connector is a 3.5mm(1/8) stereo plug(Tip,Ring,Sleeve) With a multimeter 1 of the connections will test ground (the shield of one of the RCA plugs) and there will be a 5 volt, the 3rd may test 2.5 volt approx or no voltage and no resistance. The ground and the 2.5 volt is a COAX audio output. The Toslink optical output block will need all 3 connections.

sosai880 Posted August 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 I did not understand the second part. But if it's a jack 1/8, so there is an alteration of signal perhaps, and the offical cable microsoft +optical will not alter the signal as many because the optical cable plug direct in the scart input.

There is no light in the small hole when the mine is plug to the xbox . Don't know if it's normal. The Monster GameLink 400X component cable does not have an optical transmitter in it. The plug in the cable is used to make electrical connections to a TOSLink transmitter: 5Vdc, ground and the digitial audio output signal from the AVIP connector of the Xbox. You need a GameLink 100X adapter with optical TOSLink cable to complete the Monster Component AV cable set for optical digital audio out.
