        @Kecha red is probably video and yellow is right channel audio. Most of these cables have those two backwards.

          @edmaul69 tryed every possible configuration, and yes, is the red one, but this is something with the config.txt that I cant get, not the cables, im using the system of "aikoncwd-rpi-mediacenter" but this problem happens even with NOOBS

            @Kecha have you tried just using the retropie image thats available on this site instead of noobs and the other one i never heard of? Also make sure you dont have an hdmi cable plugged in

                @Kecha if you use the retropie image on here and posted the config.txt i could help you. Im not familiar with other images.

                  @Kecha I ran into a similar issue. I ordered a cheap cable off of Amazon like you did (it might be the same one), and I tried everything, only to find out that the cable was bad. I ended up ordering this one and it worked like a charm.

                    @Sturo i use an xbox 360 e slim cable. Both are made by microsoft. Both are good quality. Far better than those cheap cables.

                      @edmaul69 Yeah about the only good thing to come from the Zune was the A/V cable. That thing is pretty solid, and the colors match up, yellow is video, white and red are sound.

                        @Sturo same with the xbox 360 e slim cable. Correct colors. I owned a zune. The original Green one. I had the cable for it too. I had repaired a couple for a friend of mine. As far as ipods and zunes at that time i preferred the zune. The iphone and ipod touch changed what i use though. I am an iphone guy now.
