Title: PS3 audio problem - optical + rca = impossible?
Post by: somunny on May 09, 2008, 08:24:40 pm

Got a PS3 a few days ago and have been trying to get it all set up.  I'm having a problem getting the audio to work properly.  I can't seem to have signals working through both the optical connection and the rca cables.   When one type is set up the other won't work.

I did a little searching online and found that there is indeed a problem with running audio on HDMI and optical but couldn't find any info regarding rca cables.  This is a pretty major problem, in my opinion, if only one audio option is available at any given time.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Found the problem.  Bad cable.   :angry:

Nope.  Spoke too soon.  It looks like there can only be one audio output selected at a time.  What a pain in the ass.
