I have a xbox 360 and want to be able to listen to the audio with headphones, not to wake the wife. The problem is my new hd tv doesn't have a headphone jack. is it possible to hook up headphones to a tv without a headphone jack?

Your HDTV has to have an audio output jack, right? Connect that to one of the auxiliary inputs on your sound system (assuming you have one near the TV) and connect the headphones to the sound system. That would be the easiest solution.

You can also get an optical decoder box like the DDTS-100; you plug an optical cable into your XBox and the headphones go into the decoder box.

I don't have a sound system, just a tv, xbox 360 and cable box. lI would like to be able to listen to my xbox audio with my Bose headphones but I dont have a headphone jack on any of those 3 units. Is this possible without that decoder box?

Thanks,

Dolph

You will have to get an adapter for the outlet ports your TV has, there are dozens of earphone sizes, So your TV should have audio output, you will have to adapt from there.

I've got the answer!! I bought a Y-shaped giszmo that has the male rca connectors at one end, and the female audio jack at the other. You plug the rca connectors into the audio out on your TV, then plug the headphones into the audio jack at the other end. Works like magic! You can find them at Radio Shack, or online. Do a search on this "6 inch 3.5mm stereo female to 2 RCA male "Y" cable" I found mine here: http://www.techcables.com/6-inch-3-5mm-stereo-female-to-2-rca-male-y-cable-p-42.html
