PS3 HDMI No Speech Audio?

May be...

I have my PS3 hooked up to a HDTV Using an HDMI 1.3b cable and in both blu ray movies and games all sound effects are there but there's no speech audio, how do I fix this?

Thats very odd! Sounds like you have the audio set to output in multi channel. First off, turn the PS3 off and then on again (at the plug preferably) and then if that doesn't work take the HDMI cable out of the TV and the PS3 and plug it in and make sure its securely in. If this doesn't work then try looking around for a 2 channel stereo setting on the PS3 audio options and if that doesn't work try setting it to linear PCM.



Hope this helped!

I don't know if you tried this, but I will tell you.



On the XMB, go to

Settings; Display Settings; and choose Video Output Settings.



- Click Video Output Settings.

- Choose HDMI

- Choose Custom

- Tick all of the boxes - Only the ones that your TV supports.

- Move on and the PS3 will test the settings. Screen will go blank and return.

- Press X to save settings.

- When it has finished saving the video settings, choose "Set Audio Output Settings"

- Choose HDMI

- Choose Manual

- Tick the boxes that your TV can support and move on and save settings.

Tip: If you aren't sure which ones your TV supports, go back and choose Automatic and then Press Enter to save settings.



If it fails, call Sony. If its a particular game, then maybe a patch is needed for that game.
