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

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

Really? How in the world did you get it to work through your soundcard? I'm thinking I need all female leads and plug in my computer speakers that way.

He is not going through the sound card, but directly to his speakers via RCA.

From the settings menu select Sound Settings, then Audio Output Settings. From there you can choose to run the audio over your connector of choice. The PS3 will have pictures of those connections and connectors so you can be sure that you select the correct one.

Awais193,

Posting the same message in such a short duration will not get your question answered any quicker.

I do not own a PS3, but I'm positive that a DVI cable can only pass through video signals only. So theoretically if you use a HDMI to DVI cable you will not get sound only visuals because DVI is for visuals not sound!

HDMI cable should be avoided for audio unless you have the proper equipment such as a compatible AV receiver.


Your best bet is to use the red, white and yellow cable and hook it up to the TV. The white and red cable is for the audio.
