Audio Optical Issue - Blu-ray Forum

PetraNem · 01-15-2008, 08:56 PM

Hi, I have my PS3 connected with HDMI to TV. I do not have an HDMI input on my surround sound receiver, so I am using an Optical Cable from PS3 to receiver.

When I set the audio settings to optical, I get no sound. I tried changing the channels on the receiver, but still nothing.

Can anyone please help me, I know I've gotten it to work awhile ago I just have no idea what could be wrong.

be sure you have the PS3 outputting through optical...Settings - Sound Settings - Audio Outputformat - Digital Optical...

then set it to bitstream.

If that still doesnt work, then it sounds like you need to configure the Receiver Input button to accept optical.

If the above doesn't work we need more info on your receiver

I had the same problem, and could not figure out what I was doing wrong. Eventually, I realized that I was not completing the audio set-up on the PS3 menu. After you get to the screen that tells you to choose bitstream, you need to continue to arrow right and complete the set-up (it does not automatically go to the next screen). When I finally got it, I was like "duh", but it was not real intuitive to me at the time, and I'm a freakin' engineer!

Keep moving right in the sound menu and you should get it. At least, that's how I remember doing it.

thanks for the help; however nothing has worked yet. I have gotten it to work before.

The surround sound system is a Sony STR-K700. 800w ( 6 ohms THD 10% )

Digital Audio Input
Coaxial x 1 / Optical x 1

Analog Audio Input x 4

any ideas?
