i have a 46 inch HDTV, it has a few component jacks in the back. i have my ps3 and xbox 360 hooked into those. im using optical cable to run the audio from my ps3 to play through my surround sound. now on my 360, i had it hooked up onto the front of my receiver, but the jack stopped working a few days ago so i decided to just hook up the component cables. now how would i go about getting my 360 to play thru the surround sound speakers? would s-video cables do the job because im not sure the 360 has a s-video jack on the actual system itself.

SVideo and Component only carry the video signals. And you DONT want to use SVideo because that would be standard def video, not HD.
You need to run optical from the Xbox to a different optical input on your receiver. Or buy a optical switch so you can toggle between the PS3 and XBox.
There is a mechanical toslink switch at Monoprice for about $7
