Hi,

just got myself an xbox and want to hook it up to my stereo if possible.

I've got :
Advanced Scart cable
tv with no stereo output

On my ps2, the advanced scart has stereo output on it as well, but on the xbox advanced scart I can only see the optical output for a 5.1 stereo. Is there any way I can hook it up to my normal stereo, or am I doomed to listen to substandard telly sound?

*Kisses Dolby Digital system*

You need the standard Scart cable with left and right audio output to hook it up to a standard stereo. The advanced scart is only for setups with a Dolby Digital systems. You should have saved up some more and picked yourself up a 5.1 system because with games like Halo it doesn't get any better :)
