Final Fantasy XII

[Rothwilder Blu]

I started playing Final Fantasy XII for PS2 on my PS3 (did not get deep into it, since my PS2 fried). For some reason, I can not get it to play in stereo, which is one of the game settings.

Considering the music, etc, I really want surround for this game.

Anyone know a fix?

played in stereo on my PS3, I think. I'd have to double check my settings.

So are you saying you want Stereo or Dolby Pro Logic II?

Hmm, I played the whole game with stereo or 5.1 with no problems on my PS3. Do you have the latest firmware? What kind of receiver is it hooked to?

my receiver wont apply pro-logic II to a source over HDMI. Since my PS3 is connected to my receiver using HDMI, im limited to whatever the original source is (ie stereo). So PS1/PS2 games played on my ps3 are always in stereo, which kinda sucks.

But the trade off is that the upscaling of the PS3 is fantastic. So i can either use my ps2 and have sorround, or use my ps3 and have much clearer graphics. Its an easy call for me.

I want Pro Logic II. I have it connected to my receiver using an optical.

Sounds just like my setup. I'll have to check my settings at home. I have the 935 hooked up through optical.

Actually you can, I have the same receiver as you and a PS3. Its not that the receiver will not apply sound matrixing just because its HDMI, its only when you have multi-channel PCM over HDMI, that the 910 will display "not used" when you press AFD. When you have 5.1 xxKHz checked off as a sound option in the PS3s option, the receiver will think that everything the PS3 is outputting is 5.1 PCM and will not let you apply surround matrixing to stereo sources like PS2 games, and of course music.

You have to go into the sound options and only select the audio that you will use. Most of the time I only have 3 boxes checked, DTS, Dolby Digital, and 5.1 48KHz. This works fine for all PS3 games and Blu-ray movies using 5.1 PCM. Now if I'm going to play music or PS2 games and I want surround sound, I go to sound options and uncheck 5.1 48KHz. Now the Blue light on your receiver will disappear and you can apply any of the sound matrixing to your stereo sources. Then if you want to go back and watch a Blu-ray with 5.1 PCM, go back into sound options and select 5.1 48KHz again.

This works fine for me, but I don't mind going to the sound options every now and then. Give it a try

As long as your receiver supports PLII, you should be good. If your are using optical then set your audio to output bitstream.
