PS3: HDMI to DVI w/ Audio

Ravenas · Nov 13, 2007

With the new 80gb PS3, I'm wanting to go from HDMI to DVI to plug it up to my monitor. My question is, how will I get audio from the PS3 since DVI can't handle audio? I'm not looking to spend a lot of money on this solution, just something that will get the job done and can maybe handle 7.1.

You can get it from the Composite (red and white), and plug that directly to your speakers. But that would be 2.1. To do 7.1 you have to use optical, route it to a receiver.

As far as I know, you cant... unless you buy some expensive converter for the sound.

Why not just use the RGB components instead? The PS3 will still do 1080p over them.

I do not believe you can hook up the composite while using the HDMI

you can...

In the options, you can set audio and video to output on different mediums.

Have you done it personally? Cause I tried to do exactly that and it would not let me

ktr · Nov 13, 2007

yea, i have done it.

KennyT772 · Nov 13, 2007

I know this can be done with the 360 as it has a audio only connector for use with hdmi. Hope you can figure it out.

Well, I'm wanting to use DVI or VGA because I will be using my monitor... :confused:

Yeah, I just saw that part of the post... :banghead:

sorry about that... have you tried what KTR suggested?

Are you saying plug it directly into my stereo system? My speakers are part of a stereo system and they are connected to a stereo / dvd player.

Where can this be bought?

(Hopefully it's not expensive)

That still will not give you the 7.1 sound you are looking for...

Any sound for now would be fine =P I would like to get 7.1, but it's not a must. (Like I said in my first post, "maybe 7.1".)

well according to KTR you can use the HDMI connection (you will be converting it to DVI) AND use the composit audio out connections too.

I tried this before, but with no luck... I could not get BOTH connections working at the same time. However, KTR said he has done it... so apparently it can done.

ktr · Nov 13, 2007

Seems like that box is only available in Japan. And there is no news of it coming to the US. Reason is that it strips HDCP, which may lead to legal issues.

It's the first thing you see when powering up the PS3. You are given an option on which medium you want to display video, than which medium you want to output sound.

Ravenas · Nov 13, 2007

The most I can get is 2.1 though? Blah oh well, I wish there was something for the PS3 like the Xbox 360 Elite HDMI cables...

Its the same thing with the 360...

Ahh but, anyway where is the option to set the PS3 to use sound through the component cables while using the DVI connection?

ktr · Nov 13, 2007

I am not at my ps3 atm, but you remember the screen that you first say on the initial setup? Its that one...

Ravenas · Nov 13, 2007

Ohh ok, I remember that, thanks much for your help. :toast:

Ravenas · Nov 13, 2007

Also, last question, is there a way to get the PS3's sound to go through PC speakers?

ktr · Nov 13, 2007

you would need RCA to 3.5mm adapter.

I have one

lildragon · Dec 31, 2007

Hiya guys, I'm desperately seeking a way to do this. I bought a LG wide (HDCP) today and hooked up video thru hdmi-dvi (a thing of beauty), I then plugged in the supplied AV cables that came with the PS3 for sound, I bought a y-plug to plug in the ps3's red/white so I can get the 3.5mm plug for my sound card in my PC. Unfortunately there's no sound. I still get my PC sounds, but my PS3 isn't playing anything. Any ideas?

I should note I'm using a y adapter as apposed to a y cable

What I'm using

Take care,

Yup, that's what I'm using actually.

Playing PS3 at 1080p with sound, I'll post some pictures of it soon. :rockout:
