Also you have to change the settings on the PS3 so that it outputs audio over optical instead of HDMI.

PS - You can't go thru the TV for 5.1 audio from PS3 (HDMI to TV then optical to surround), as your TV will not pass 5.1 from externally connected devices thru it (very few tv's do). You need a direct connection to the surround (via the switch) for 5.1.
Thanks, I will try that. Is that the only way?
