PS3 HDMI Audio output problem
my tv has a dvi input, but my ps3 has only one hdmi output.
if you use that for the video via a hdmi-dvi lead, where do you get an output for the audio?

gaming_guy

you can set the output to use the phono leads (red, white & yellow) that are supplied with the console.

to change the audio output settings, go to settings > sound settings and choose the best option for your set up

thanks,that will work but it will not give HD video to the TV
thats really what im trying to do

gaming_guy

you dont have to have the video through component.

i have my ps3 outputting video via HDMI and the audio through the phono leads

sunshine54

how? there is only one output from the ps3
if i use it for the video, via hdmi-dvi lead
where can i get audio out of the ps3 via phono leads

gaming_guy

there should be a lead in the box that the ps3 came in which looks like this. it plus into one of the ports at the back next to the hdmi slot i think

sunshine54

thanks yes i think that will work

i use a hdmi - dvi lead for hd picture, and use the supplied av leads to get the sound. Do i need to set sound out to avi in the ps3, and what colour red white or yellow is sound on? cheers

White is Left channel, red is right channel for your sound. Yellow is for component connection to the TV, if you are not using the HDMI

i think the setting you need is in settings > sound settings > output settings > Audio Input Connector / SCART / AV MULTI

thanks gaming guy and joel, i'll check ebay for the leads i need to get the best out of my system

What kind of TV do you have? I ask, because I've not seen any HD tvs that DONT have an HDMI input.
