It was all good in theory, but after I soldered the 3.5mm mini jack connectors onto the wires for the headset and plugged it in all that anyone heard was static. I asked my friend over Skype to listen to his xbox headset over xbox live and tell me what he heard. he said static and gurgling noises. When I tried to record a message on xbox live all that played back when I previewed my message was static and gurgling noises. :(
Oh well.

thinking of upgrades
I was at frys electronics today and I saw a whole bunch of things that I could put into my computer as upgrades. I wanted a new headset, an x-fi sound card, a new power supply, a 9600 gt video card, a video capture card, a bigger hard drive, and windows vista. But now that i think about that, isnt that list a processor and a motheroard short of a new computer? why upgrade when I could just build new.
Since the hardware companies are always releasing new stuff, where does this upgrade cycle end? By the time you buy it its already outdated.

xbox 360 headset mod
I am working on a design for an xbox 360 headset plug that I can use to connect my 360 headset to my computer's mic and speakers. I want to do this because I use my computer to output the sound for the 360. I thought it would be nice to use the same headset for the computer and the xbox. This way I wouldnt have to put on the goofy xbox headset on top of my computer headset just to talk to people on xbox live.
I thought that I could strip the wires off of the xbox headset and instead of having a speaker and microphone, I could replace them with 3.5mm jacks so that I could plug it into my computers front audio ports. I'm not exactly sure if this would work, but I cant really think of another way. If I am imagining this correctly I think that the microphone lead from the xbox headset would need to plug into the speaker jack on my computer, so that when I talk into my comp. headset it outputs to the microphone of the xbox. Right?
I'll probably start within the next week or so and then I will see how it goes.
