ok i have this monitor http://viewsonic.com/products/desktopdisplays/lcddisplays/graphicseries/vg920/ . my monitor did not come with a remote so when i have to change volume and change from xbox 360 to PC it takes time on ajusting volume for my 360 becuse it comes from a different sound source (the monitor itself) is there any way i can make it come from my speakers that are plugged in to my pc? i have logitech R20 speakers. here: http://www.pcvonline.com/productDetails.aspx?id=2350

Or another thing i was thinking is i could just buy http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0926INGFS10067523&catid=23563 this universal 360 remote to make it easier to switch the volume on the monitor. Will this be possible? could i program this remote to work on my monitor? to change volume and change it from 360 to PC insted of clicking annoying little buttons to ajust my volume everytime i want to start my 360. can i also program it to play pause and rewind the movies i have on my computer.

i know there is alot of questions there. but any help would be good

AFAIK the volume on that remote is intended to change the volume for another device (ie, TV, reciever) it won't do anything to your 360.

You don't really give any idea about how you've got it setup now, but what about this (http://www.thesourcecc.com/estore/Product.aspx?language=en-CA&catalog=Online&category=Cable+Adapters&product=4202154)

buy a rca to stereo adapter and run that into the line in or mic jack of your pc soundcard. that's my temporary setup until i find a good set of speakers.
