Anyways I have a killer 300 watt computers speakers that I dont use for my PC and wanted to hook it up to my Playstation 3.

What input do you speakers have? 3.5m jack?

If so, you need one of these.



And then use your standard PS3 AV cable for the sound.

The thing is with that is that you're not getting surround sound. It's just stereo sound over the 5 speakers. All I do is connect the black RCA into the phono jack of my TV which gives you the stereo sound from 2 of the speakers and the bass from the sub. Good enough for me until I can afford a proper set-up.

heres a cool idea

try hooking up surround sound to your ps3

playing something like mgs4 will never be the same

if you try it let me know what you think

if you think this is a stupid idea then do things your way

So, can we use both HDMI and AV cable, HDMI for video output only and AV for sound because I have a monitor that has really low quality inbuilt speakers and I'm contemplating buying a new set of speakers for my PS3 so I was wondering we can run both at the same time without any problems. Thanks.

Yes you can send the sound to either the optical or av out when using HDMI.

Yes. When setting up the audio options have it output through A/V cables. When setting up the video options have it output through HDMI.
