is there a setting or something to get the ps3 to default to pcm instead of dolby digital ? it seems to default to dd instead of pcm on all movies.

You have might have the settings on bitstream.. try changing that under the audio section.

no, its set to linear pcm. do you, or anyone else, have a ps3, and it defaults to pcm and not dolby digital. i can change it on the discs menu and it works fine, but it would be a lot nicer if it would automatically do it. thanks for the reply !

Hhmm, I have both of my ps3's connected through hdmi and it picks up pcm. However I do have to change it on the audio settings of the movie. Is this what you are refering to?

ya, when i insert a disc, and the movie starts, i go into the discs audio menu and the dolby digital track is playing, and i have to manually change it to the pcm one. i was hoping there was a way to make it start with the pcm track automatically. no ?
