Audio all around
Heh - Xbox Live is launched officially TOMORROW... and already there's a web page up that shows you how to split the audio signal so that your friend, visiting your house and playing as a guest, can join in the verbal fun. Not sure how happy MS will be about this (they're kinda hoping that the Guest accounts will convince people to buy their own XBL account, since the guests don't get audio, normally)... but all the parts are off-the-shelf (and require no physical modification of any MS-supplied hardware). Radio Shack part numbers are included. Thanks to kiro69, who posted this to the Marty Army Chapter of the 7th Column. Update: Mr. Poke discovered a 3/32" splitter at Radio Shack, obviating the need for a couple of adapters recommended in this article. As for part number 274-948, and you'll save about $6 in extra parts. (Louis Wu 14:10:45 UTC)
