Hi George. Thanks for the welcome, and the suggestions.

I've not tried checking the audio output on the xbox. I had assumed that the xbox would be fine since its fairly new, while the G91 is a couple years old, but you're right to point out I may not have identified the correct source of the problem.

And I've been postponing the inevitable wrangle with mconfig, but its time I took the plunge.
