Hooking a PS3 up to speakers

[AdmiralViscen]

Can I just plug the HDMI cable into the TV, and then use the old composite wire to plug directly into my stereo/switchbox?

Do I need to change some setting to split the audio signal to the composite cable, or will I have sound coming out of the TV and the speakers at the same time?

I was discussing this with a friend some days ago.

go to your PS3 settings and enable video via hdmi and audio via Composite.

I'd love to hear if this method works or not.

Well, I won't know until I'm back at my apartment in a week or two. I was going to buy a component switchbox (my current ones are composite only) online now so I'd have it by the time I got back.

Can someone say for sure that it works so I don't wind up buying a gimped switchbox?

Ah, I see the setting now, should definitely work.

Can anyone recommend a component switch  box with remote control? Anything to look out for?

it doesn't work?

damn, what about AUX (red/white cables via audio receiver), will that work?

edit: never mind.

This doesn't work. This is the setup I have, but no sound goes down the HDMI cable. You can only output sound through one method. I bitched and bitched about this on GAF at PS3 launch but everyone poo-pooed my idea, saying I shouldn't expect more than one output. But my 360 has always given me optical + composite, so I don't know what the big deal is.

Edit: or you don't actually want the sound coming from the TV? You just want it in your speakers? Doh.

Yea lol. Why do you want sound from both sources?
