Hi All,
I'm using an old school Altec Lansing ACS45 (PC speakers with subwoofer) with 22" Samsung 226BW LCD monitor. I'm need to get the following items (pls refer to the attached screen capture for items #2 & #3): 1. HDMI to DVI cable 2. Y splitter RCA cable - highlighted in blue box 3. Connector - highlighted in red box Can any1 tell me where can I get these from Sunway Pyramid IT centre for a reasonable price?

Hi All,
I've managed to find tis female Y-splitter cable (the pic below is the exact cable I bot) @ Sunway Pyramid for RM20 (I know it's expensive but I'm not gonna drive all the way to Jalan Pasar! :-P ): Prob now is m I correct to say tht I'm short of a female-2-female connector since the other side of the female Y-splitter cable (the black connector) is a male?

Hi SSJBen,
Earlier tonight, I connected the Y-splitter (connected to PS3's Multi OUT cable) to my subwoofer's Line-In 2 (it so happens there are 2 Line-Ins on this woofer) and there was no sound. While checking for solutions on the web, I realised I had to change the sound settings on the PS3 to use the Audio RCA cable rather than the default (HDMI). After trying your suggestion (option #2), which unfortunately didn't work...I tried again to re-connect the Y-splitter to my subwoofer's Line-In 2 based on my fren's (Ldragon) recommendation and it works! Anyway, thanks for ur advice! QUOTE(SSJBen @ Aug 6 2008, 09:39 PM) No, not all. But many do need a mandatory installation. This post has been edited by techgirl: Aug 7 2008, 12:01 AMThis has been repeated many times, the installation of games are only cache and data files. NOT the entire game itself, you still NEED the Blu-Ray disc in the PS3 to play. Its not really "speeding up load times", technically it is. I've already explained it in a couple of pages back. So just search for it. There are 2 ways now you can get audio out of your PC speakers. 1) Follow the diagram picture you posted before, which means you'll need to get an extra female Y-Splitter cable as well as a 2-way audio connector. 2) Directly connect your PS3's AV cable to the male Y-splitter you just bought, then connect the Y-splitter to the back of your PC(I assume your PC is nearby your PS3?) inline jack(audio in, usually blue colored). Then just adjust the audio in volume in Windows. So when ever you play your PS3, audio comes out directly through your PC to your speaker instead. Well, pretty much it doesn't matter where the files are placed anyway except for UPDATE and THEME. Since after all you can simply just set the "Display All" option which will show every content and file your external storage has. |
