OK I have the onkyo 7.1 surround sound receiver not sure of the model number cuz I'm not at home. But the problem is my games aren't playing in Dolby that support it. The ps3 is hooked up via HDMI and all of the boxes are checked that my receiver supports. Also, all of my movies that support it play in dolby anyone know the reason?
My guess is that you have the audio settings for HDMI out for the PS3 set to "PCM". The PS3 is automatically converting to whatever it believes your receiver supports, which may be defaulting to 2 Channel 48Khz Linear PCM. Try changing the setting from "PCM" to "Bitstream" and see if that helps. Good luck!
i know that i don't have a 7.1 setup my setup is 5.1 my main concern is none of the games that support dolby surround arent playing in dolby surroundBigHerm611
If you have the same Onkyo system my brother has, make sure you have an optical cable if it says HDMI pass-through because that means it is not true HD sound or able to fully support 7.1. Also, try setting the listening modes around on the system; maybe try Neo:6 or All Chn Set (can't remember the exact mode name). Finally, make sure you have Optical/HDMI selected on the PS3 XMB menu for sound.
