First of all, I'm new here. Hi!

So anyway, on topic: I have a pair of Turtle Beaches (X12) that I'd like to use with the Wii U, but the Turtles only support Red/White audio input and the Wii U only supports HDMI. Is there a way to continue running HDMI but still be able to use the Turtles? Is there an adapter I'm not seeing when I search for one on Google? Or will I have to wait for one to be developed?

Any help is appreciated!

my trittons probably have a similar layout as yours i tried setting them up so many ways, the mic is never detected and the audio doesnt come through, i tried setting it up like you would an xbox (plugging the interface on the headset into the controller) and i couldnt find any way to set it up :/

If you can't get it running, TB offer a cheap WiiU headset for £20 http://www.amazon.co...ASIN=B008YA9BVC

You need to use the componant or composite i always get them confused cables.
But doing that only gives you audio, and no microphone.
If you use the 3.5 mm jack and plug it directly into the upad, it will work fully, but won't truly be wireless.

Oh wait, that applies to the ones with the piece of plastic over the headband.

You could try a 3.5mm joiner.

The x12 pictures I'm seeing from Google show a 3.5 mm audio and 3.5mm mic jack separate, this should join them into the one 3.5mm jack which should work on the upad.
No promises, but they're cheap anyway.

Thanks for the help and everything, guys, but it looks like I'm S.O.L. for now. There's currently no way to rig my current setup, and the Wii U headsets currently on the market only connect to the GamePad, which isn't what I was aiming for. I wanted to get the audio coming straight out of the Wii U itself (the audio that goes into the TV). I'd like to use my Turtles to hear original Wii games through the headset while playing them on the Wii U, which isn't possible with the GamePad.

Anyway, I appreciate you guys taking the time to help!

I'm unfamiliar with the X12, but you should be able to plug them into the tv itself to receive game audio. If you want to be able to chat you would most likely need the 3.5 mm joiner, but I have connected my Turtle Beach X41s directly to the tv via optical audio, and I receive the game audio just fine.
