I want to hook up my PS3 to my monitor. the Monitor I have only has DVI input. I am thinking that the only way to carry the sound is through optical as I have tried to carry the sound through regular analog cables (red and white). I guess the PS3 does not output the signal on both fronts HDMI and Analog, so I am stuck with Opitcal for sound. I wanted to see how you guys have it hooked up as far as the sound goes because I don't feel like purchasing a reciever just to be able to get the sound out of my PS3. what did you guys do?

You have to change your audio settings, it does output audio through the RCA and optical cables when setup properly.

I tried that, but i won't output it through RCA it seems when you have it hooked up through HDMI. I was able to output the sound through Optical with no problems, but it would not do it through RCA when it's hooked up using HDMI. Maybe I will have to try it again through RCA
