I set the PS3 to "automatic" for sound which picked Dolby Digital 5.1 and a couple others, PCM I think. I looked through the manual list and that appears to be the proper settings (according the Bose manual, Dolby Digital 5.1 is recommended).
TV audio mode is set to "Standard" - alternate choices are Dynamic and Clear Voice - but neither sounds very good at all.
Thanks for the help  |
Something to try is connecting your PS3 directly to your Bose via optical cable. If this works better, and you have another digital input into your Bose for the TV, problem should be solved. A lot of TVs don't send DD 5.1 out via optical, except from OTA signals. If you don't have another digital input into your Bose, you can can get a toslink switch from Monoprice, something like
this.
