The problem is MS. This post will *hopefully* convince folks I am NOT an MS fanboy.
MS did a very naughty thing with the HDMI placement. They have purposely made the HDMI output and the visual cable close enough that only two methods will allow a customer to use the HDMI cable and get optical or 5.1 sound. You can mod a cable or buy the *official* MS HDMI cable, which is complete hogwash. It's an overpriced POC. I do think Sony is much better with the placement of the HDMI output - and they also allow you to use old PS2 cables - helped me out a ton - even if those clowns don't include an HDMI cable.
Regardless, just google '360 HDMI cable mods' to see if you are up to doing that.
Really that, the 360 wifi adapter AND the overpriced HD - and RROD - are some low points for the 360 this gen. MS so sucks for these POC components. They PHAIL with this junk.
