Author Topic: PS3 + Computer Monitor = Sound? Need help Here

I have a Playstation 3

I have a Samsung 24" Computer LCD monitor with HDMi input, audio out, and digital (optical) audio out.

I have both the HDMi cable and the RCA cables.

Video works fine but I have no audio from my PS3, my screen obviously doesn't have speakers.

Is there someway to plug in Logitek speakers or my headphones and somehow get sound or is there some weird combinations of adaptors and modulators I will need to get sound? Preferably for under 100$ in total additional purchases.

So wait -- your monitor has an HDMI input but no speakers?

More monitors are doing this these days. They usually have digital audio output.

Your PS3 has audio out, right? Why not plug some speakers into it?

You find a set of speakers or headphones that fit and plug them in.

You probably do not own speakers capable of using a digital audio jack. In fact, you probably own a bunch of speakers and headphones with minijacks. Luckily, you can buy a minijack to standard audio jack adapter for practically nothing; you can plug the headphones' minijack into the adapter, and plug the adapter into the analog audio output of your monitor, and you're good to go.

Well after checking with a friend I tried plugging in my Logitech Speakers in it and after some fiddling in the options I got sound to work, then accidentily made it not work, realized that the annoying clicking noise was the actual sound working right, went back undid what I did, opened Force Unleashed and glorious sound bequethed me.

You will never hear from me again. About time I made some sweet sweet love to my PS3 that I hadn't used for 4 weeks since I got it.

Apt observation, probably unto me would have sounded better.

Then you would have lacked a verb.
