Just bought this and trying to play some games...

When I pop in a game it makes this unhealthy noise...

I tried ...

- several different HDMI cable = no difference.

- another game = no difference

... the monitor is also fine as it works fine with another PS3 and the same HDMI cable. The HDMI port of the PS3 looks good. Any idea what is the problem here? Any help is appreciated... thanks a lot

It sounds like ps3 output some kind of unsupported audio format to your speaker.

btw what kind of speaker you are using? and how it connect to PS3?

Go to settings, audio settings and set it up again, this time just let everything auto and test again.

Hi, speaker is the built in one of the ViewSonic monitor you see in the video... connected view HDMI cable (tried different cable, all of the cable are known working). Audio settings in PS3 is HDMI/ auto and it shows a few "output format" all "linear PCM 2 Ch. xxkHz

That looks correct to me....
Any other ideas?

Do you have a TV to hook the PS3 up? just to make sure HDMI and audio are fine on normal TV first.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
