Some tvs have a hdmi power saving feature could be this ??, leave xbox on and turn the tv off then on again see if it detects the sound

There was a thread a few weeks ago when people said an HDMi cable was an HDMI cable.. That a £15 cable was the same as a £99 cable... This is the reason why...

There are 3 versions of HDMI... 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3..

1,1 was video only
1.2 was video and audio
1.3 was video and audio but also supports advanced features like viera link from Panasonic (were one remote does all)

The versions of HDMI have nothing to do with the cable.

It's a digital signal. If the picture works then the audio will work too. It's not like SCART where there are seperate audio connections.

Don't turn this into an HDMI cable debate, it doesn't need to be one!

The picture works. The cable is fine. It's some kind of misconfiguration at either end. All I can suggest (assuming you've tried all HDMI audio settings on the TV) is that you try another TV and see how that goes.

go into your 360 display options, are you being shown the options for hd OR the video options for vga.

Also have you got the new nxe update or not ??

as you are seeing all resolutions from 600 up then you are in vga mode NOT hdmi, hence you seeing the 640x480 etc instead of 480/720 etc. If your 360 has a hard drive remove it and turn on the console, let it boot to dash and then plug in the harddrive see if that helps.

Its in vga mode so thinks your tv is basically a monitor hence the no sound as pc monitor dont have speakers (some do but they have seperate audio in jacks)

All I keep finding on xbox support website is mentions to their own cable which seems to have a HDTV/Av switch on it?? would a normal non-branded HDMI cable work or do you need this xbox 360 specific cable?

not sure what else to say fella, the fault is known and only affects the sound when using hdmi cable. you could try a compleate unplug of hdrive and memory card from 360 then totally disconnect power for 5 mins then reconnect 360 leaving hdrive and memcard out.

When you boot the Xbox with HDMI cable it should recognise this and set it to HD 1080P, if its not this then somethings wrong with the Xbox.

Is this an Xbox with the HDMI out plug in the back right?

It could be a fault with this connection.
