First , what's your AVR.

And what type of Audio did you select in the game?

I used optical cable connect to my AVR watch GI Joe, no problem, it show DTS on the AVR.

Go to the 'audio' setting, untick all the 5.1 option

my AVR is Yammy V465

sorry newbie here, i just put in the BD game and let it run automatically...

by doing this, u meant untick all 5.1 audio except 5.1 DD right?
does it work?
if i am not running the BD game, will i still get sound in the XMB menu?
gonna try

Go to Audio Setting in PS3, then do an auto setup via HDMI. It will pick up the abilities of yr AVR and auto stream it out....

this didn't work

but i untick all the 5.1 except 5.1 DD...this time the AVR shows DD for a while then back to PCM
what is wrong?
is it cable problem? need monster hdmi?

You may want to find out whether your AVR has the setting something like preset listening mode where you could assign your preferred audio mode to the incoming audio signal detected by your AVR. I know Onkyo AVR has this setting but not too sure about the Yammy.

whoa...monster hdmi expensive wor...

i mean untick all the 'Linear PCM 5.1 & Linear PCM 7.1' options ONLY...when u play PS3 games..it will automatically output DD, no need to switch on manually in the game option.

100% not cable problem...

if it is a game...
some of the game 'force' PS3 to decoded it...even you bitstream also it will show PCM on your AVR...
so it really depend on the game...

i know some game will show Dolby Digital in AVR...e.g resident evil 5

all my games bitstream n showing DD or DTS in my AVR

sorry bro, i don't get what u meant, newbie here...
did u mean something like select hdmi raw in PoHD? got such setting in PS3?
btw, my AVR shows DD and DTS when connected to PoHD...

i see...hope this is truth...will change another BD game and try again later
