5.1 Surround Sound Question

I have my PS3 hooked up to a 5.1 Surround Sound system, which plays the audio great when I watch BDs. However, some (not all) of my regular DVDs do not play in 5.1, although they do say that it is supported on the back cover. Any reason why this may be?

Also, a while back when I first got my PS3, I tried playing CoD3, and I didn't really get any audio from it, and I think that this may have been the same issue (I haven't tried playing that in a while, but it just popped into my head).

go into the options menu on the DVD you are watching and set it to 5.1 surround sound.:)

How is it hooked up? If its hooked up to your receiver through HDMI, fiddle with the settings. If its just through RCA cables, thats why. You need a digital connection,.candid_llama
