I bought the HDMI-DVI cable, but for some reason my ps3 still doesn't work,
i have my xbox 360 plugged into it,
and that works.
but then i plug in my ps3 it doesn't show anything,
is the cable messed up?
any settings that i would have to change on my ps3?
thanks.

First post! I could have used this guide on the 25th (<3 ps3 on my monitor)

Anyway yeah there are HDCP compliant boxes, from what I have seen online most suppliers / retailers will say whether it is compliant or not. I'm looking into purchasing one now and from what I've seen most recent ones should have no problem with it.

I.K.

Can anyone just sum up what else I would need?
So far i've ordered a DVI to HDMI cable and I want to be able to use my sennheisers for audio? Sorry if it's been answered already but I don't have time to look through all the pages :/.

so im guessing your visuals/video is set? you just need audio/sound?
well what i did is that i set my ps3 on video under HDMI, and my sound is through the yellow/red plug (analog?) which is connected to my computer speakers through AUX, iono if it helps, but i hope it helps,

please explain you situation so i can help you more,

Sorry if you explained you situation in the previous pages,
but I don't have time to look through all the pages

*edit,
sorry didn't know what sennheisers was, but now i looked it up, its headphones? you want ur ps3 audio through headphones?

I am in the same boat. I was going to post something in the Audio card area but I tried the seldom-used search feature for the forum and found this. To my knowledge If we can find a box that converts from fiber to three 1/8" jacks for the logitech speakers that would work for our systems. You got the X-540 Speakers or another set? Either that or we would have to plug it into a preamp and then use adapters to get each of the speakers into it. I basically wanted to get my Logitech 5.1 system to play the audio from my PS3 and XBOX 360 without having the power-draining PC on. Do you have any ideas?

It would be 2.1 likely through 5 speakers and your sub or stereo sound only in other words.

Could i use my 5.1 pc speakers with the ps3??

And if so will it play in 5.1 surround sound?

DarkRogue · 01-10-09

See my comment above yours.

I managed to find something by accident when looking for 5.1 gaming earphones, if anyone can suggest some good ones, and found this on amazon.com and newegg but I doubt it's compatible with the PS3.
