connecting PS3- no audio: Any sugestions?
1422222
I have a very similar problem with my PS3 connecting to my Sony 46" LCD (Z Series). I have been testing the conditions and doing a complete system reset on the PS3 always takes care of the issue, but takes some time to redo all settings. I have been looking for answers on the various forums without luck. Also, turning on and off both the TV and PS3 takes care of the issue without doing the reset. I have found out that having everything working fine if I turn off the TV only and back on, the sound is gone. I believe is a decoding issue the TV has, for some reason if the TV starts after the PS3 it does not recognize the HDMI audio source. I know this does not cover your ONKYO issue but gives you a start. (I have downloaded the latest 3.10 update for PS3 and have not seen any problems just yet (for 3 days) but I am not very confident since I have been updating both the TV and PS3 constantly. I am considering upgrading my old 5.1 Kenwood A/V Receiver just to take care of this issue.

You need to split the audio out of the hdmi from the ps. DVI doesn't have sound.

I used mine for a PS3 connection. It does not provide sound though and I had to use a different cable for that

The PS3 accepts bluetooth headphones/headsets, but it only outputs gamechat audio, not game audio.

I had the same problem and contacted Monoprice. The following suggestion from them fixed the issue for me: "PS3 Settings -> Video Settings -> BD/DVD Audio Output Format (HDMI) that had to be changed from Linear PCM to Bitsream... This will help using DD 5.1 with PID 5557......I just want to add, that in doing this, you are making the audio receiver do all of the audio decoding. You will lose all of the menu sounds, like the ones from the BRP, and those from the Movies menu screen. Keep in mind that this is normal, and don't think anything is messed up."

Have you reset the audio/video signal from your ps3? Are you using a newer style hdmi cord or using the optical video cable on ps3?

What 2 channel types do you have? I tried connecting my Bose directly to the PS3's digital optical port, which works perfectly fine. In fact, I think the quality is slightly better than hooking it up from the TV's digital optical output but the only limitation is that you won't be able to output regular tv from your bose speakers.

Just use the RCA cables that came with the ps3, and set the audio feature under "settings" to RCA. Your ps3 will still display with hdmi cable and then output audio with RCA. Also if you're using RCA to output audio, be sure to buy one of these with this specific speaker system http://www.amazon.com/Console-Adapter-Convert-Plugs-Single/dp/B0006U3ACY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1263445395&sr=1-1 This adapter will give your ps3 5.1 channel surround sound without having to use the lame matrix mode.

Just connect the HDMI from PS3 to your TV directly and the Optical digital Out of the PS3 to the receiver. Once you have connected it to the receiver then make sure that you are selecting the right input by pressing the digital input button on the front of the receiver(e.g. OPT1/OPT2). This is the easiest solution. This means you have to have two cables one HDMI cable from PS3 to TV and one Optical digital cable from PS3 to the receiver. One other thing, you have to change the setup on your PS3 too. You have to select the cable type for Audio output. Do not select HDMI for Audio output on PS3. It won't work as this receiver does not support HDMI for Audio. Just connect the HDMI from PS3 to your TV directly and the Optical digital Out of the PS3 to the receiver.

I believe you have to run audio separately. If you are running an Xbox for example, use hdmi for video, then use the standard Xbox a/v cable for audio. You can change Xbox/ps3 settings to audio outputs.

I agree with Kanagaraj. What I do is have the console set up as normal. The speakers are connected to the tv audio output. Turn the tv volume down and just use the speaker volume. It's what I do when I watch movies on my PS3 and it sounds great. Hope this helps!

You might have issues there. I'm getting Audio through my other ports as I have had both a PS3 and Wii U hooked up to the unit as well as a Computer from time to time. I've never had any trouble getting Audio through the HDMI. Do you have good cables? If you haven't swapped the cable from your other device, there are plenty of OLDER HDMI cables out there that don't have the audio pathway. HDMI carrying Audio is a slightly newer piece of technology. And also, the device you take the Audio from also has to support passing it over HDMI as well. Older DVD players that can't take firmware updates may not account for this. The PS3 in its infancy didn't do this in the beginning for instance, and I had the audio through an extra optical cable. They updated the firmware to fit the new standard so one nice cable for everything. Hope that helps. Good luck,

YES. DON'T WORRY, IT'S EASY. Search for something like the iLuv USB Audio Adapter here on Amazon. Just plug your mic and headphone jacks into the iLuv device and then plug the iLuv into one of the open USB ports on your PS3 (or PS4). Then just go into your PS4's configurations and select the audio to go to the headset and not your TV. Fixed.

I just bought this system. I haven't tested it yet but the way I have setup is this:PS3 to HDTV via HDMITV to Receiver via Optical InputThis way my I can use Inputs on my TV (it has a lot more inputs than this receiver.) and I get the quality sound. Good luck

We have it connected through DVI, but that is because our computer only has DVI. There is an HDMI port on there, and we plan on hooking up our PS3 using that, but haven't gotten around to it yet :)

no, just don't use the bitstream output from the ps3, use linear pcm and you'll get dts-hd and dolby truehd from the receiver, the ps3 will decode the audio just fine.
