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.

    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
