Hi Folks,

I recently acquired a PS3 and would like to use a HD monitor with it. However, seeing how most monitors out there do not have speakers in them/audio output, how would one go about hooking up a PS3 to have sound with a HD monitor that would more than likely not have an audio output?

If you're using an hdmi cable, you can't, there's no way to split it off.

If you get component cables, you may be able to use a splitter and put them out to headphones. But not many monitors have component cable input, so you're stuck.

But, usually people use a headset with the ps3, I'm assuming the sound comes over that? Maybe it's just voice, I don't own one so I'm not sure.

My LG monitor has a headphone jack. I connect the PS3 via HDMI, and speakers via the headphone jack. works for me.

Find the bass port in the sub and stick a stock in it, I know what you mean with those little 2.1 systems, they try a bit too hard sometimes!

that set up should work for any HD monitor with a headphone jack I would assume?

Yes.

Sorry, I forgot that some monitors have headphone jacks.
