So, with the Black Friday sales coming up, I'm looking to buy an Xbox One and finally upgrade (yes, I know I'm late to the party), but as we're all aware the XBone uses HDMI for its A/V output. Unfortuntely, I don't have a HDMI-capable TV. What I do have though, is a DVI-D capable TV, which also has SCART sockets that my current consoles are connected to (for fairly crappy but functional visuals). I know it's not the best set-up, but given my limited funds I can't be spending loads on anything like a new TV (hene waiting for the sales to get a console upgrade).
To rectify this, I went out and bought a DVI-D adaptor that connects to the HDMI cable at on end and my TV at the other. I also bought a digital optical audio cable for the sound, since I'm aware that DVI is visual-only. I connected them to the PS3 to test the cables were in working order, before I spend the big money on the XBone, and found that the visuals worked perfectly, but there was no sound coming from my TV. The audio cable fits into the port marked 'audio in' on my TV which is right next to the DVI-D port, but there's nothing coming from the integrated speakers.
Does anyone have any advice on how I can get this sorted? If I can get it to work with the PS3 then I know it'll work with the new console as well, but right now the sound problem is pretty major.
