Thread Starter 
I have old fat PS3 console and 1080p monitor I'm currently using for PC. My monitor have no HDMI, so I use the convertor. My monitor doesn't have any speakers, so how I get any sounds/audio? Any ideas?

Hi IronWill1991,

You will have to use the included PS3 RCA cables and use the stereo cables (usually white and red) to connect it to stereo speakers. If you want to connect to PC speakers which use 3.5mm then you will need an adapter.

Alternatively, if you have the equipment to support it, you can use optical cables instead.

Once you have the necessary parts depending on which route you take then you can change the audio settings on your PS3 to match your setup.
