Optical Problem

Hi,

Whilst having Sky HD installed yesterday, the Optical cable on my PS3 got disconnected....when I put it back it, I'd not got it aligned properly but didn't realise until later when I had no sound.

Have now reconnected properly, but still no sound?

Have I broken it????

Help?????

Re: Optical Problem

Quite possibly it got damaged in being knocked out of the ps3's port, they are a bit fragile... Best way would be to try another if you have one, or test the cable on something else with optical output...
