How to make your LIVE KIT work through speakers (v0.1)

Tutorial written by : Sir Pilz

What you need :

An Xbox Live Kit
A Set of powered (active) speakers
A 2.5mm Stereo jack plug (Radio Shack, Maplins)
Or a 2.5mm stereo splitter (Code RF31J Maplins)
Soldering Iron if using the 2.5mm method


METHOD 1 :

I used a set of Creative Labs powered speakers £15 argos that came with a 3.5mm stereo jack plug to plug into your PC. I hacked off the plug for the speakers then I joined the two coloured wires together (positive) and the two bares together (negative) and then soldered the coloured wires to the inner post of the 2.5mm jack plug. I then soldered the two bare wires to the outer post and hey presto I have the headset communicator coming out through the speakers. Now I can still enjoy the experience but without the headset on my head and I can talk to people in my room without fear of chatting over the mike!


METHOD 2 :

I used a set of Creative Labs powered speakers £15 argos that came with a 3.5mm jack plug to plug into PC. I bought a Standard 3.5mm & 2.5mm mono mic & earphone sockets which just happens to plug into the xbox live communicator slot it has two ends that you can plug the powered speakers into 3.5mm socket and it also has a 2.5mm socket too that you can plug a Nokia handsfree or other mike so you can have speakers, communicator or Nokia headset or even a mike with a 2.5mm jack plug on.
