I'll warily add in the possibility that you check the PS3's setting where where 5.1 is turned on/off for the optical port.

I can't recall the exact menu location but I know that you can independently switch the optical port on your PS3 from stereo to 5.1 and if hard set to stereo, you won't get 5.1 out that port.


Sorry about the tone of my post - I was in the waiting room at the hospital frantically trying to finish the note so I could get upstairs and meet my "just born" grand son \:D

We had our first grand child in mid-Septemebr (a little girl).

Been kind of fun latley. Of course. based on the gene pool, they are both incredibly beautiful.
