How do I setup my surround sound with my ps3?

[Bouncing]

I know you usually use an optical cable, but my surround sound doesnt have an optical port...I want to stick using hdmi so is there any way around this problem and being able to use it with hdmi and use my surround sound without an optical cable?

You could use the normal RCA (White, yellow, red) plug into the back of your surround sound.
Then go to PS3 settings and choose to output sound via RCA and video via HDMI :)

I think there is a coaxial (or whatever it's called) port at the back. (The one with the really thin wire). That might provide surround sound....

Can you not just plug the ps3 into the TV then plug the TV into surround? :P

Surround didnt have an optical port, ive done it now anyway, I just had to use the hdmi for picture then dig out the PS3 cable that comes with it for the sound.
