I recently bought the pioneer surround sound system for the xbox 360. The 360 is about 6 months old, and this sound system is brand new (and so is the HD cable). So, considering all of this equipment is brand new.. I have a question to ask.

Sometimes when I'm playing Halo 2 (split screen or not) in surround sound, the sound system cuts out randomly for about a second. It will happen say 4 times within an hour of play. It usually happens when theres a lot going on in the screen. Has anyone else experienced this?

I read on a couple other forums that people have this problem with Halo 2 and other FPS games (like CoD2.) Is it because the game is being played through an emulator (xbox 360 playing an original xbox game)? I haven't tested the sound system enough with other games but it happens quite frequently with Halo 2 (though I did watch Matrix reloaded all the way through with zero hiccups). Is there any possible fix for this?

I don't really know, but if it were me, I would assume it had to do with the 360's emulator. I know I have problems sometimes playing H2 where the sound will go out for 10-20 seconds, but only certain sounds, i.e. a sniper rife shooting. I won't be able to hear any snipers, but everything else sounds fine.
