I only play during the night so room temperature so room tempreture is quite cool since cool breeze flows into my room. Anyways, i just changed back my reso to 720p and this somehow did cut down the fan speed and before this i forced it to 1080p on my monitor but all the more im hoping theres nothing wrong on the hardware

hello to all pros,

i have an inquiry

im using HDMI as my video output to my lcd tv, but for audio, i wish to play 5.1 surround ...
so my options are either get a surround amplifier + speaker (which is bloody expensive) ...as alternative, i was thinking whether i can use computer 5.1 speaker (altec,creative..etc) to play surround sound system?

and my other concern is, is there any computer speaker comes with multiple chanel? like i wanna switch between PS3 and my computer.

i understnad my problem can b resolved by getting an amplifier, but it'll cost me a lot


sorry, if my questions sounded dumb and unclear ><... just need a piece of advise here.

same here bro i was thinking the same too, i was just wondering is it possible to connect an optical cable to a computer 5.1 speaker? cos i understand the Red and White AV cable can only produce 2.1 surround sound (correct me if i'm wrong)

help us out guys, thanks!

any speaker system (whether PC speaker or home audio system) which can accept optical input and decode DD5.1 signal can be used with the PS3 for surround sound.

thanks for the advice acougan, do u have any recommendation on a 5.1 pc speaker that has optical input and decode DD5.1 signal ?

aha, that's the problem. i'm not familiar with pc speakers systems at all (or any sound system for that matter)

i doubt there are many pc speaker system that can do that and also reasonable price though. mb check the Audiophiles subforum for ideas

hi there pros-pros!!!

i got something...

Can i connect my darn USB maxis to the pc, and then use a long ethernet cable to connect to my ps3 to go online??

Some suggest this technique, but i dunno how about u guys with Maxis Broadband??

thnx

The answer is yes and no.

It depends on where and how your PC is working. RLYP, if you are using your LCD TV for your PC as well then the problem is pretty easy to resolve.

Check at the back of your PC I/O, if theres an optical cable input then you can simply just connect your PS3 to your PC directly. Your PC sound output will go through to your speakers. So whenever you play your PS3, you'll automatically get the sound from your PC itself. The downside of course is that your PC needs to be turned on(obviously) whenever you play your PS3.

You switch freely between PC and PS3 that way. Infact, this is the method I'm currently using now. Good for me, no need for custom soundtracks from the XMB, just play my music through my PC while I'm playing my PS3.

If your PC doesn't have optical in, then the only other way is to get a PC speaker which has optical in. Somewhat tedious though, as only fairly high-end 5.1 speakers have them, they are of course pretty pricey as well(not anywhere near HT amps yet though). I'm not exactly sure, but I think some speakers do have function for switching through input channels.



Yes you can. But you can expect to forget playing online anyways. Maxis BB DC like hell, internet speed is.....

i just want to register my PSN first. any steps doing the darn ethernet thingy?? im no good with networking.

You can register and create your PSN ID using your PC at the following site:

Are you using the 'soap' Maxis BB modem? I think you need to activate ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) on your PC. So, the connection will be share between PC and your PS3.

thnx ninja...

owh, i like ur iron man t-shirt during the Dark Knight outing... ....

How to see different set Asian and Singapore? Normally is set Asian send to where? Hong Kong?

hye friends.. how do i connect both ps3 and pc to internet via streamyx at same time?

i have a switch connected to modem and to both ps3 and pc. however only 1 will operate at 1 time. any solution?

try getting a router that way you can have connections to both the ps3 and the pc simultaneously

ok, i think i asked a lot og questions, but this will be the last, promise...

since im a 360 user too, i notice the underside of my ps3 is getting warm like my 360, is this something of a concern?

my PS3 is White 40gb.i think asia version.

system software is 2.30 (if not mistake)

so,i try download latest firmware 2.41 but can't laaa.
selalu HANG ler.apepasal yea.i use broadBANK

any idea how to do..

go to official playstation website to download firmware...
save to pendrive before installing it via usb to ps3... best read instruction on the webpage..

i had this problem before where i use my old crt tv for ps3 , to download update for motorstorm
but evertime hang half way..then when change to lcd monitor ..things go smoothly..
not sure whether related to the tv o not.

already go their website.i try hongkong & sg website.same problem.
still HANG.proses 4 download..98 hour !.perghhh,bior betul...

actually how the gaming work on the ps3? i mean is it using the blu ray dics while playing? then what is the huge storage capacity for? save file?
besides, i know the storage capacity can use for store the media file like what we dose on pc.. just getting confuse for the gaming part..

sorry for those noob question..
