Will this let me get audio from Xbone and pc to my pc monitor without having to switch my audio cable? Not simultaneous audio, just for convenience.

For me I have my ps4 and PC hooked up to my speakers but I needed a female to female 3.5 jack for the ps4 but ya I guess it will if your have all the cords. And it also can play audio simultaneously in case u whana play music while your playing call of duty or something.

Not being one to use that feature, I had to check for myself. And to confirm what has been answered previous, there's 2 audio out ports, 1 for analog audio, and the other for digital audio [optical].

Cant speak from experience but I believe all chat is through bluetooth. So I believe you could link that to the computer while the game audio is from the console. Not 100% though

I plugged in with a HDMI cable into my video card and it gave me the option to use the monitor through windows sound options. Did not have to do anything else to get that option. Sound is not so great but I love the monitor for the cost I paid a while back, under $100.

My question to you is "If you are hooking up with an HDMI cable, why are you also using and optical cable?". HDMI carries the complete spectrum of audio and does not require an additional audio cable. You may be confusing either the player and/or your audio receiver.

Yes, in fact, for example I run my Xbox and PC to the HDMI-in ports and have one HDMI that goes to my TV from the receiver. If I want to hear one or the other, I have to have it selected on the receiver. The power to the receiver has to be on for anything to work (video or sound).

Yes. Your PC probably uses a 3.5mm audio connection to it's speakers (which this device has an input for). You will need to plug the PC into this device as well as from the game system. Just press the corresponding button on the device to choose which component you wish to listen to, when you are using each one. I'm not sure but you may be able to utilize both at the same time. Hope this helps.

I actually don't know anything about xboxes. All I can tell you for sure is that I have a cable coming from a receiver that I use to listen to music from my MacBook. I decided that I wanted to be able to occasionally use it as well to listen to my iPhone, but the connection wasn't right. I bought this jack for the male end of the stereo cable, and now I use it for both the computer and the phone. Works just fine.

I used it to get xbox 360 to an older rear projection TV. The xbox 360 has a optical output which has to audio. There is no cheap way to strip out the audio from the HDMI signal. This allowed the least dollar cost to get the audio to the TV.

You can take the Composite (Yellow = Video, Red and White for Audio) out from a device and the box will convert the signals to HDMI. I found the quality to be very good. If I read your question right, the answer is NO. I do not have an Xbox and my Monitors all have HDMI.

It connects to your Xbox, and plays whatever audio your Xbox produces. The TV you use doesn't matter (I use an LED monitor).

I have not tried this audio should come out with HDMI I wonder if you have to change sound output in control panel settings

HDMI carries sound, audio cable not being switched. You need your audio to come from HDMI input.

I don't use both outputs from the device, so I'm not sure how they work exactly, but here's my understanding: If you have your cable box hooked (inputted) to say source 1, both outputs from the device will carry that audio signal to two different devices. I'm not sure of the utility of that exactly, but I guess if you had two different TVs or audio receivers and you wanted to hear the sound from the cable box on each, you could. I have my Xbox, PS3, Cable, and DVD player hooked into inputs 1-4, and one output to the surround sound system. Hope that helps!

using the XP400 and XB1 currently. Sound has no problems, hooks up and sounds just like on the 360, chat sucks because you have to be wired to SPEAK (not to hear) and have the adapter. Dumb, but it works.

Problem I had with this is I was going from my DVI port on the Mac to HDMI using an adapter cable, but the DVI port doesn't carry audio, only video. My work around was then wiring an audio cable from the headphone jack of the computer to my surround system. (In my case I used a 3.5mm to RCA cable). Gets messy with extra wires but it does the trick for now.

No. This is a VGA-TO-HDMI converter. You'll need a HDMI-TO-VGA converter to connect your xbox to a computer monitor.
