    Okay so I have my PS3 for about a month now, I didnt have any problems with it untill today. My only game is Killzone 2 and I finished the game. So today i wanted to play again but I dont have sound.. its completely gone.. but with normal tv i have sound so the problem is with the PS3. I did notice sometimes some audio problems and that the screen went black for about 2 seconds.. so I use a HDMI cable. I read more people have troubles with a HDMI cable on the PS3, but i cant find what to do about my audio problem.. can somebody here help me?

    I really don't know as I haven't experienced the problem first hand. Have you tried a different HDMI cable, or tried the PS3 on another tv? Also, you can try configuring the audio settings separately to make sure your PS3 is outputting sound via HDMI.

    Go in Sound Settings and make the HDMI the input for sound.

    Go into display settings and set your PS3 to HDMI output. It will then ask you to set Audio Output Settings, so set that to HDMI as well. I've had this problm before and that's how I fixed it. If that doesn't work, I don't really know.

    Hello

    Just to let you know, I have the exact same problem - and it started to happen just around the time that you posted this topic. I haven't been able to solve this problem yet, so please let me know if you figure out what the cause of the problem is.

    I'm actually having this same problem. I have an extremely weird way of fixing it too. I go to PS Home and when it starts downloading the patch for it, I cancel it and magically my sound works, it's the strangest thing. In case it's relevant at all, I'm running the PS3 on a Sony KDL-40XBR6 TV.

    Anyone found a resolution to this issue yet? It's intermittent, but damn if it's annoying.

    I have had this happen a few times in past two plus years and found that the problem I had was because one side of HDMI cable had come lose. After snugging the cable connection all was fine.

    This happened to me once. I thought it was because I constantly switched the HDMI from my ps3 to the direcTV receiver. I started playing cod4 online and after a while the sound raondomly came back.

    I've done all the HDMI slot fiddling I can and nothing changes things. Is it possible it's the cable I'm using? It's just very strange that sometimes it works, and others it doesn't and that if I do certain things on the PS3 interface, it will magically start to work again. Very odd.

    I just updated to the newest FW (with the different logo and the sparkly backgorund) and began having the same problem. Randomly, sometimes when I turn on my ps3, the sound won't work. Once it does stop working, the only way to get it back is to restore my system defaults (which is a severe pain in the ass). Has there been any known issues mentioned with the new FW that could account for this?

    the only solution i can offer it to go to sound settings and fiddle around. try switching the hdmi ends around. for example: take the end that is plugged into the ps3 and put it in the tv, and the end in the tv, put it in the ps3. hope this helps

    How much did you pay for that HDMI cable? Is it one of those no name cheap brands? In most cases devices only need basic hdmi but the PS3 seems to require higher quality cables as I have had the same problems so I'm speaking from experience. Once I switched to a sony branded PS3 hdmi cable (version 1.3b revision 2 i believe), then those problems all went away.
