Default PS3 Audio Questions
I'm looking at my PS3 audio settings to activate 5.1 seeing as I just installed my setup yesterday, and saw that there were 3 options that looked 5.1 capable, the obvious DTS and Dolby Digital (What're the differences between them?) and AAC. I'm not sure about AAC, and was wondering what it did/was used for. Anyone know?

Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is the successor to MP3 audio format. I think PS3 rips music using AAC by default

Should I have it ticked or not? Also, is Dolby 5.1 or DTS 5.1 better?

AAC is miles better

there is a slight noticable differance between mp3 and aac, i find aac to be louder and treble more defined

Hey Dillard

I have all the audio options ticked on my PS3

DTS is better...I can't here a difference but it is better. As soon as MGS4 loads up my reciever switches to DTS signal

DTS is actually better then dolby as it can hit higher bit rates however you would need a dts capable receiver to use it.

Just have your recieve auto-detect the signal. I personally prefer DTS.
