Yep. It was set to Linear PCM.

Re: Why Is the Blu Ray Sound So Poor?
 

Any word on a Firmware upgrade that would allow the PS3 to pass the TrueHD and/or Master Audio bitstream over HDMI?

Re: Why Is the Blu Ray Sound So Poor?
 

I don't think that's ever going to happen, because it's supposedly a hardware limitation with the HDMI chip that they used.

You have to use optical to get 5.1. HMDI gets you 7.1.

HOWEVER, you will also need to enable all of the sound options for your PS3 to get the "best" sounds. I know that DTS is not enabled by default for instance. You really should read at least some of the manual that came with your PS3 before complaining about the performance! The fault lies with the installer not the installation. -ohbfrank-

Okay, so now that I hooked my ps3's audio up through hdmi what settings should I have?

Re: Why Is the Blu Ray Sound So Poor?
 

If your receiver can handle multi-channel Linear PCM, set the HDMI output to Lienear PCM. And remember to set Dynamic Range to off.

Re: Why Is the Blu Ray Sound So Poor?
 

how would I go about finding out if my reciever supports this?

Re: Why Is the Blu Ray Sound So Poor?
 

im going to bump this back up to see if anyone can answer my question

Re: Why Is the Blu Ray Sound So Poor?
 

The manual should say. You could also check the forum for your reciever model at AVS.

Re: Why Is the Blu Ray Sound So Poor?
 

Another way to know if your receiver accepts multi-channels Linear PCM is to let the PS3 set the audio automatically. If it can handle it, the PS3 will add it to the audio format list.
