Do I need to change some setting on the PS3?
Nope... you don't need to change anything. People keep talking about how they are all the same. But, to me (and I have a very objective mind), ANY Dolby track has always sounded a bit flat compared to PCM and DTS equivalents. Both PCM and DTS seem to have found a way to give depth to soundtracks that continuously eludes the gang at Dolby.

Now, this is obviously just my own personal preference and personal opinion. There are many who will chime in with "THEY ARE ALL EXACTLY THE SAME!" But, if that were the case, then why do these companies spend so much time and effort "maximizing their own sound codecs"? That obviously means that they are all still vying for the green from the studios!!!
