I haven't seen any references to this, so I'll try my luck here. I have a PS3 attached to my TV via an HDMI cable. Looks great, but the audio is way too loud. I have to set my TV volume to 01, but I hear distortion is some games, as if the audio out is turned up too loud. I haven't seen any references to this issue anywhere. I can't see how (if I can) to adjust the audio level out under the PS3 settings... It's not an issue with the TV as the HDMI audio via the cable box is fine (there are 3 HDMI inputs and all work fine with the cable box, and all sound distorted with the PS3 - also tried two different HDMI cables), and the TV only allows for bass and trebble adjustments...
Any ideas...? Did I miss something?
Thanks.

I saw a review on Tomshardware and they used an optical cable to get sound becuase the HDMI cable alone wouldn't send sound.

No, HDMI cables send audio and video, though you can choose to send only audio or only video if you wish - this applies to all devices that utilize HDMI (except for the obvious, like an HDMI enabled audio reciever will not send or register video signals).

Yeh I know but it doesnt seem to work on the Ps3 try using an optical cable as this seemed to work with the guys at toms hardware. I don't think the cables are expensive.
