No sound !!! HELP !!!! HDMI connection to PS3 - Page 2

OK, just to check - when you tried my suggestion, did you definitely connect the PS3's audio connectors to the "DVI audio in" on the back of the TV (& not the TV's separate L & R audio inputs for its AV channel)?

The photo in your link shows it as a single stereo socket ("DVI audio in") - presumably 3.5mm - so you'd need an adaptor of some sort to take the red & white stereo phono jacks of the PS3's AV lead & connect them to that single socket, e.g. http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=48366 if it's a 3.5mm stereo socket.

Ah, I think I've got it. No, I obviously didn't do as you said, sorry!
I can see how that would work! Sorry to 'hassle' you, but presumably, I could then get an audio splitter which would allow me to connect both the bt vision and PS3 simultaniously to the DVI so I don't have to physically get up to change from one audio input to the other? Or would that not be possible because of the setup of my tv?

I'm off to Maplin now!!
Thanks so much, you were much more helpful than the guy in the shop!

Yep, you can get a phono switch box.

Something like this...

So the left & right phonos from the BT Vision box, and the left & right phonos from the PS3's AV lead, would connect to the phono switch box.

The switch box's output phonos would then connect to the 3.5mm adaptor, which would then plug into the "DVI Audio In" on the back of the TV.
