anybody else notice a loss of audio options on their ps3? - Blu-ray Forum

ricky tee78 · 02-20-2009, 03:49 AM

Back in the day, or really the first year I had my ps3, when I went to audio setup (where you get to choose each individual audio format you want to support) I remember there being about 10-15 options (im using optical out). Now, theres only dolby, dts, aac, and two 2.1 options.

This is a bummer cause I have a bunch of videos on my ps3 and i need linear pcm 5.1 as a choice if i wanna hear 5.1 audio

anybody know if i did something to make these options go away? or did a firmware rob me of my options?

(i know its not my receivers compatibility since it used to be fine)

(also, the options are ALL there for hdmi audio output)

Yes dude the optical opinions kinda suk but that the price you pay for using an optical hook up can't wait to get away form that my self.

damn, I swear I used to have the options to do more linear pcm's, I guess it was a mistake and sony corrected it with a firmware some time ago
