• D'oh! Forgot to mention i solved the Xbox Surround Sound mystery.
  Forget using the Optical cable option unless you want to buy some high-end speakers/ amp setup (not my goal). Instead use the standard cable that comes with the Xbox. Take the scart connector off the Xbox lead (leaves you with 2 Audio and 1 Video Av leads), put the Video AV lead into your TV's Video AV port, then use the 2 Audio leads and connect them to a AV to 3.5mm jack connector (presuming you have bought surround sound speakers that terminate in 3.5mm jacks). Voila! I bought the Logitech X620 6.1 Speakers in the end, but cheaper alternatives are available.
