The round port to the right of the VGA looks like it might be a 3.5mm out. Hard to tell on my phone, but worth a shot.

I've talked this up before, but I have my pre-Slim 360 hooked up via that model's separate HDMI port, but there was a game for the 360 called Bandfuse that came with a little dongle that plugged into that larger A/V port that had a headphone jack and a volume control via a dial on an extension cord that came bundled with it. It works pretty well in that regard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CKbXDuTQMI shows the cable and the dongle. Admittedly, for me it has worked, fine, but the price of Bandfuse complete with cables and cords and dongle has jumped back up to pretty much full retail prices on eBay and Amazon. I was sort of lucky to find my copy for about $10 when I did. fishmech posted:Those are RCA jacks, what you want is this: https://www.amazon.com/30S1-01260-Stereo-Female-Y-Cable-Connector/dp/B000I23TTE But a question on that: While that seems like it SHOULD provide the RCA-to-3.5 connection to make headphones work, would the audio coming from that connection be amplified enough for a pair of headphones? I'm sort of assuming the Bandfuse thing I have only works as it does due to some sort of built-in amplification. (If it does, though, inline mechanical headphone volume rocker attachments I think are fairly cheap on their own, about $5-10, or maybe nothing if your headphones have a built-in rocker or dial.)

Eh, it depends on your headphones. If it's too quiet for the headphones they have then they'll definitely want to get a cheap little headphone amp to go inbetween.

God, I feel like I'm sort of making this more complicated for the poster than it should be, but if that ends up being the case then could finding a really cheap set of amplified desktop speakers for about $10-15 (even one just powered by a USB charger AND with volume control) with a headphone jack on them be the best overall solution? 360 RCA Audio Out -> RCA-to-3.5mm Adapter -> Cheap amplified speakers w/headphone jack -> headphones. Otherwise, unless you could find a cheap stand-alone amplifier or a USB powered one, the inline ones I've seen would probably just use too many batteries all the time.

You can get cheap little headphone amps that will plug into usb or wall power these days for like $15 - $20. They're not omg audiophile quality but they'll be perfectly sufficient for listening to 360 audio.

I mean, plug the headphones in and see how they sound. They might be fine. Dude was shoving a headphone cord into an RCA jack like a toddler a few hours ago, we're not dealing with discerning tastes here.

Before I just call it a loss, I installed the Hulu app on my 360 and have deleted and reinstalled and deactivated and reactived the device and so on and it continues to lock up my system, have authenticating problems, etc. almost always within 20-30 minutes of use. Does anyone else have issues with Hulu on their 360?
