Connect the DX12 to your Xbox 360 as described in the previous section and then use an HDMI cable or red/white RCA
plugs on the Xbox 360 A/V cable to send audio to the home theater speakers or TV. Setting up the DX12 as illustrated below
lets you hear your Xbox 360 on your home theater speakers without disconnecting the optical cable from the DSS2. To hear the
game audio only on the X12 headset, turn down or mute your home theater speakers.

1: If your PC or Mac does not include a digital optical output, then you will need to purchase an “Optical S/PDIF
Adapter”. Turtle Beach offers the “Audio Advantage
®
Micro II” which is available on our website.
2: In this configuration, the amplifier game volume may be used to adjust the game sound level and the mic mute switch
may be used to silence the microphone. The chat volume serves no function in this setup. A 3.5mm extender cable is
available on our website if the X12 pink mic connector will not reach the microphone input on your computer.
3: Most games will not output Dolby 5.1 unless your computer is running Dolby Digital Live. You will hear enhanced
stereo audio unless Dolby Digital Live is installed.
