the longest journey begins with a single step
Before starting up, make sure that you have got the following accessories with you:
A digital audio output.
A free optical digital input on your receiver.
An optical digital audio cable.
Digital Audio Output
Your Xbox didn't come standard with a digital audio output, but you are going to need one for this to work, so hightail it to the store for the Advanced AV Pack or High Definition AV Pack, both of which have digital audio outputs. Microsoft makes both of them. You can also buy third-party AV cables for Xbox, but make sure they have a digital audio output.
Free Optical Digital Input
For this slammin' sound system to work properly, you need at least one free optical digital input on your receiver.
Ready to Hook It Up? Let's Go!
Connect the digital audio output to your Xbox.
Connect one end of the optical digital audio cable to the digital audio output on your Xbox and the other end to the optical digital input on your receiver.
Turn on your Xbox with no disc in the disc drive.
In the Xbox Dashboard, select Settings.
Select Audio.
You will see an Audio Mode screen that shows Dolby Digital and DTS status. Select Dolby Digital.
You will see the question "Does your stereo system support Dolby Digital Audio?" Select Yes.
You will see Dolby Digital Enabled in the audio screen.
Your Xbox is now ready for Dolby Digital gameplay. Insert a game disc and play!
i have a creative Zen V and i was able to hook it up to my Xbox 360 perfectly fine you just have to make sure it is on before you plug it into your xbox 360 usb port.
You could just hook up the analog cables and switch to that input when listening to mp3. The 360 downconverts to DD 2.0 or 5.1 depending on the source, so if your receiver doesn't manage the bass in those modes, hooking up the analogs is the only way to get subwoofer and multichannel.
