PS3 cable problem

[manabu]

Ok, I have a slight problem. I have both my Wii and PS3 connected with a single component cable that was made for multiple consoles. However, the problem is that whenever I have both of them plugged in and tried to use the Wii... There would be no sound until I unplug it from my PS3.. I'm not sure if this belongs in the Wii board or the PS3 board.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

maybe its just how the cable works.

[manabu]

Yeah, that's pretty much what i'm afraid of

[Alibi86]

is it really that much of a pain to unplug one of em when using the other?

[manabu]

Well, nope. But it is an inconvienence. I was just wondering if there was a way to avoid it.

i have that same problem with my unversial cable. when i have my gamecube and ps2 connected there is no sound on the ps2. So its niether the wii or the ps3 board its the brand of the cable.

That is weird though. Maybe having it connected to two machines confuses it and it doesnt know where to draw the signal from

if your using xcm's then i know theres a switch that you have to use to tell wither to broadcast the wii or ps3's signal

that must be a real issue, that must be annoying to keep switching between the two. solve the problem, throw out the Wii

Better yet, solve the problem, give me the Wii

you may just want to get a component video switcher or (whatever input you are using) as it will make this easier for you. it is manual so you will have to physically change the input but its all good.... that or get a surround sound receiver..... or new tv of course
