PS3 Audio problems

[flyfree432]

Has anyone here experienced an issue with blu-ray playback on your PS3's where the audio is not in sync with the video by about a 1/2 second? I can't seem to find a solution to this problem (I tried posting it on the PS3 discussion forum on amazon). I love blu-ray but this is becoming frustrating. We have a PS3 hooked up to a 37" Olevia 1080i TV via an HDMI cable. The sound is only out of sync on some of the blu-ray discs. It's not our 5.1 speakers because it is the same on the TV speakers as well.

Unfortunately we are also in a VERY rural area that does not get any kind of high speed access until later this year.

i haven't had that problem. I don't think the ps3 will cause this, i believe it might be the HDMI cable.

I haven't experienced those issues with the PS3 but it is most definitely NOT your HDMI cable. That would not cause your audio and video to be out of sync.

Does this tell me that you haven't updated the firmware of the system??? If so, then newer Blu-ray releases may be experiencing problems due to their creation within a more "bug-free" and computationally advanced software environment. Update the PS3 firmware before doing anything too drastic. You can d/load it at the following link:

You will need to make sure that whatever type of storage device you use (USB Flash Drive or memory card) that you follow the instructions carefully. You need to create the following directory structure on the storage device using all CAPITAL LETTERS AS SHOWN (the first is the main directory... "PS3" then "UPDATE" inside the PS3 folder. Save the update file into the "UPDATE" directory. Simply place the device into the appropriate slot on the PS3 unit and select System Update on the XMB. Then, select "Storage Device" and you should be golden.

Hope this works!!!

I haven't updated the firmware - I didn't know you could without being connected via an ethernet cable or wireless device. I will give it a try. The last update I received was from the Ninja Gaiden game.

Do you have high speed internet, but not hooked up to your PS3 machine? If so then you can use your USB drive to transfer the update file.

Download the update using your computer via this link: http://www.us.playstation.com/ps3/ne...304&LINK=PS3SU

And here are the instructions for installing:
