A HDMI cable is both audio and video. A DVI cable is for video only. So common sense u need to have a separate audio cable if u use a DVI cable. In my opinion better use the HDMI port. Less wire hassle. If your monitor have only one port, then i suggest u buy a HDMI switcher. So u can switch which input you want. The PC or PS3.

Yea,i think my monitor has only 1 HDMI and 1 DVI port.So wat i need is a HDMI switcher so that i can connect both my Rig and Ps3 to the monitor right? |

QUOTE(man_hakim87 @ Jan 12 2011, 05:08 PM) What speaker are u using dude? I am using 2.1 Sonic Gear Tatoo Series 3 speakers. QUOTE Q) I'm on a budget but wish to enjoy PS3 in HD rather than my old TV. What are my cheapest options?
A) Get a wide-screen LCD monitor ~RM700. Make sure it has DVI(HDCP) or HDMI input and supports 720p. Buy a DVI-to-HDMI cable. Get a budget 2.1 speaker set if needed.
Q) I'm using PS3 with PC monitor. But the monitor don't have speaker/sound. How?
A) You need a 2.1 speaker set. For the audio, you need to get yourself a Y-splitter cable. Like this:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Then, connect the composite cable to the back of your PS3, the red and white audio to the Y-splitter, and the other end of the Y-splitter to your speakers. Just ask any computer shop for it. Must have one. Only RM10 I think. - TheUndead
The Y-splitter cable RM4-5 bucks if u buy from imbi plaza , electrical shop behind imbi mario, they have a lot of conversion cables of any type - Synco
Can also buy at Jalan Pasar - theGOne How do i connect my speakers?HDMI switcher connects both my Ps3 and Rig to my monitor,but my monitor no sounds right?So i have to use the Y-splitter to connect the speaker to Ps3 and my rig. This post has been edited by Duckies: Jan 12 2011, 05:36 PM |

Does your monitor have inbuilt speaker? If yes, the sound will come out from monitor speakers. Because a HDMI = Video+Audio. If you want to use your Sonic gear, then you should use the 'audio out' behind your monitor, plug it to a audio switcher so you can choose audio from your PC or PS3, then plug into your speaker input.

Video Signal Analog RGB, DVI Connector DVI-I, HDMI, Audio OutSo.. if my theory are correct, the audio signal from the HDMI cable stops there. So buy a audio cable, and jack it into your input speaker. |
