HDMI Audio?

[Michael1989]

My receiver (HTIB one) supports HDMI so I decided to go from using opitcal audio from my ps3 to receiver, to HDMI instead.

So that meant me having to buy a HDMI splitter/switcher to connect HDMI from the PS3 to the receiver and the TV, right?

But it's not working.

the setup looks like this:

TV >> HDMI splitter >> then two HDMI cables to each the PS3 and the receiver.

But the splitter seems to only enable one or the other..

I can only seem to turn HDMI on the receiver when I switch it to the receiver on the splitter. But then when I switch it back to the PS3, the HDMI audio is disabled from the receiver.

I've looked at the sticky's here and followed the guides but nothing. Changed the settings on the PS3 but nothing, I get no sound at all through my speakers, only my TV.

What am I doing wrong? Or am I just plain stupid? Help!!
