Hi ive had my PS3 since launch day and im getting P@@@@d of with it now i need help.. :>

Ok I have a Sharp Aqous 42" TV and a HDMI cable.

Im using the automatic setting to set up my audio and visual which works fine with the video settings but the thing is the sound just isnt right. When i put on a game or film the background noise is very loud but foreground stuff like voises or commentery are very fient. I cant hear what people are saying half the time. So i cant enjoy movies or games at the moment.

I say the video works fine but ive just bought pro evo and the replays are very juddery looking to me. Anyway heres some pics.

I select auto set up for audio









This is what it comes up with which looks a little strange to me as there is no option for dolby 5.1





So where do you think the problem lies? Cable? TV? PS3?

Can anyone help?

It wasn't deleted only closed because of inappropriate language.

Try setting it manually,my 42inch 1080p tv is a cheap mirai and it gives me great audio and visual.
But to truly get most out of your PS3s sound you really should get a 7.1 av system.

Check this one out its only £249 and has an hdmi loopthrough,meaning you plug the Ps3 into it then plug it into your tv,its won awards to.

So i played with my tv settings and no joy there so ive got a couple of ideas to try and improve the problem. See what you think. Anyway i tried to hook it up so that i had the vidio going through the hdmi cable and the audio going through the component cables but it wouldnt do that. It only wants to put the audio through the hdmi cable when thats pluged in. How do i seperate the 2? Basicly i wanna try and view through my hdmi and get audio through my component cables. Also can i get the video to go through hdmi and try an optical audio cable aswell, e.g use hdmi and optical at the same time? Here are a few diagrams of what i want do do see what you think.

Firts example. This is my set up and it sounds rubbish.





And heres a few ideas im thinking of to try and get better sound.











Any suggestions?

It wont work using your component cables if you have HDMI plugged in,either use audio cables from your tv to your amp or us an optical cable from your PS3 to your amp.

Umm... ya it will.. I'm using the hdmi to DVI for my video and im using the AV cables that came with my ps3 for sound.. works perfect.

my suggestion for you is to use optical cable from your ps3 to your amp... even the av cables from your ps3 to your amp should work although might not sound as great.. good luck
