I think you by-passed the audio by hooking up the HDMI from the PS3 to the TV, and then optical back to the AMP. You need to tap the audio at the source , not the destination

hope this helps

Hi thanks for your advise but what do you mean about your last paragraph???
"tap the audio at the source, not the destination"
