Hello
I no longer can hear anything with my headset since I used it on my PS3 today, using the same HDMI cable that I was using with my PC monitor.
Headset: Steelseries Siberia 840
tl;dr:
My headset was working before with this setup:
Headset USB ---> PC
Monitor screen HDMI ---> PC
My headset stopped working after using the HDMI cable on my PS3 because now it carries the sound through the HDMI cable.
I have been using this headset for months on my PC only, until today.
My screen is connected to my motherboard with a HDMI cable, it was not carrying audio before today I think.
My headset is hooked to my motherboard too by USB.
It was working fine for months this way.
Today I played on my PS3 and I tried to use my headset on it.
But I have only 1 HDMI cable at home.
Today I played on the PS3 and I hooked my headset to it.
This headset is said to be working for PC/PS3/PS4, so I was not expecting anything bad, it is made for it after all.
I hooked my headset to my PS3 by Optical, only way.
I could hear the sounds from the playstation menus and in-game sounds in the headset, all was perfect.
But I was playing by using the original garbage composite cables from the PS3 box, so the visual quality was terrible.
I thought I could use the HDMI cable from my pc so I unplugged my PC screen for the first time.
So what went wrong:
I unplugged the HDMI cable from my pc.
I plugged it between my HDTV and PS3.
I plugged my headset by Optical between my headset box and my PS3.
As soon as I launched the PS3 it detected the HDMI and asked me if I wanted the audio to be carried by the HDMI, I pressed "Yes".
I found out my headset was not carrying the sounds from the PS3 anymore, I realized "ah right thats because the HDMI is doing it, ok then no problem, I cant use my headset with my PS3... Sad and lie from company but I can play with the HDTV sound system"
Then, I stopped playing on the PS3, hooked again the PC monitor with my HDMI cable (which is now carrying sounds). I plugged my headset to my pc again with USB, like before. NO SOUND.
I tried every possibility to plug it with optical, reseted the profile and sources from the headset box. Nothing to do...
