speakers that will work with PS3 and PC

verbel

Basically I want to hook my PS3 up to my Computer monitor as I spend most of my free time there. I tried it out the other day and everything works great except I have no way to get sound. I currently am using some cheap antec lansing speakers but those are not going to work. I don’t really want to spend allot of money as I use headphones for things when I want good sound.

I imagine I need to get some speakers with optical input, but most I see are fairly expensive. Does anyone have any suggestions or examples of what they are doing?

I use these Logitech Z550 speakers. The optical works for the PS3 while the 6 channel direct inputs go to the PC.

They're just as expensive (if not more) as when I bought them 6ish years ago, though, so I'd definitely wait until they're on sale. I'm sure that I got them for under $200 at the time.

Can't you just get any old speakers that works on PC and use one of these?

Of course, if you need more than stereo sound then this wouldn't work, but if you already have speakers/headphones then you could try using that converter and the standard RCA audio cables from your PS3.

If it's hooked up to your computer monitor, I assume you're using HDMI, and presumably a 3.5mm sound output on the monitor. I have my 360 and PS3 hooked up to my monitor like that, and just run a M/M 3.5mm TRS connector to my computers audio input, and use my sound card drivers to mix that into my computers sound output. I get to use one set of headphones for sound without juggling cables.
