WFP 2408: Audio out don't work with HDMI and PS3
Hello,
I connect my PS3 with the 2408 flat screen over a HDMI 1.3 cable. The video works perfect, bat I get no sound over the audio output on the connector of the flat screen. I use a headphone witch works with other sound sources like my PC. Also I tested the PS3 and the HDMI cable on another flat screen. There were no problem with the sound and video.
I can deduce therefore, that the HDMI cable, the PS3 and the headphone haven't no error.
If I configure the sound option on the PS3 in connection with the 2408 flat screen, the PS3 show me always the same error message: "This HDMI device cannot be used for audio output".
Can someone help me please.
Many thanks
Thomas

I don't have (yet) a PS3.
But do you have the Sound Bar AX501 ?
I think you need it to get sound from HDMI but not sure.

Thanks for your hint. I don't have the sound bar because the specification of the flat screen wfp 2408 don't describe the requirements of this device. I copy the summary of the web site from the wfp 2408.
" ... Full HD 1080p – Supports higher definition than HD television and a wide array of HD connection options like HDMI, Display Port, DVI-D with HDCP and HDMI 2.1 Audio Out. ..."
(source http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Monitors/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=320-6272 )
I bought the 2408 in the assuming that my headphones will be work.
For two days ago I asked the technical support without any solutions so far.
I would be grateful for any ideas.

Hi folks,
many thanks for your help. Yesterday I got a new flat screen from dell. The audio output works perfect with the new one.
Now I enjoy the gaming with my PS3. :smileyvery-happy:

I have the same problem with my ps3 +2408 wfp..tried various techniques to solve it
Speakers are logotech x230 2.1 channel http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16836121123 Yes, speakers ARE plugged into the monitor's audio out port.
1. 5 second button hold on ps3 to auto detect display settings
2. turn on off monitor ( i hear the speaker make a *bamf* sound just as i hit the monitor power on button)
3. used monitor menu/other settings/power save audio ON (I even tried OFF)
Any other solution? I would hate to return my otherwise awesome monitor... =( Just too much of a hassle. Please help.
