PS3 Optical crackling

SameSuspect · 19 Apr 2008 at 21:47

just bought myself a ps3 and love it, apart from this nasty crackling sound i get with an optical cable.

i have it connected to my pc thru an i/o drive with an x-fi xtreme music, then back out thru the headphone port. maybe i have a dodgy optical cable? which would suprise me as its a monster one

well im not using 5.1 im using headphones, which in the creative console is set to 2.0/2.1

tried all sorts of things nothings fixed it

i do have a reciever which takes optical cables but my optical cable is only 1 metre long which does reach it >:(

will have to stick to rca for now i reckon
