PS3 not transmitting audio via optical

Inazuma · 9 Sep 2009 at 11:26

Hey everyone,
So my first PS3 problem. Since yesterday, it has no longer been able to transmit audio through the optical out. I've checked all the settings and they are the same as how they've been for months. The same cable and amp works fine with my 360.
Audio does work going to my TV via HDMI.

Any solutions? Or am I going to need a replacement..

Edit: I just managed to get it partly working - the left and right channels are working for some reason, but not the center, rear left and rear right.

Yes to both, no luck

I dont have any spares, but the cable works fine with my 360 so there shouldnt be a problem.

Should I try a format? :S

360 has now stopped outputting sound through optical. So its a cable or receiver problem afterall. But which!
