I have ordered a PS3 super slim 500GB console, and I plan on connecting it to my PC's monitor and speakers.

The monitor I have is the Acer S221HQBD, which does not have an HDMI port. So I would imagine that I could connect the PS3 to it using an HDMI to DVI connector.

As for the speakers, I'm not sure what converters or cables I would need to buy - could anyone kindly advise? My speaker/subwoofer setup is the Logitech S220 2.1 Speaker System.

ok, good question.

heres an unboxing of your ps3 super slim you can see it comes with a ps3 input to RCA Male (RED, White (audio) and Yellow (video). We are going to need those Red and White inputs to make this work.

Example:

enter image description here

This audio adapter : 3.5mm Stereo Female to 2 RCA Female Audio Cable Example:enter image description here

Which connect to your speakers using a double sided 3.5mm Stereo Male to Male Audio plug. Or from what I see on your speakers the 3.5mm Audio just comes out the back of the speakers. So you should be fine without this cable.

enter image description here

As you said before this has to be done because DVI does not transmit audio like HDMI does, so this work around is required. This is a youtube video of a person specifically doing what you're doing but i think his audio is powered by usb.

  • I have not purchased the cables yet, however I have read stories online of people who tried a similar setup of connecting the PS3 to the monitor through an HDMI to DVI converter, and they have reported black and white screens, rather than colour. Are you certain that I will be able to do this with my monitor?
