Edit: So, I tried hooking my PS4 up to the same receiver, and it worked perfectly in 7.1. That led me that this is a PS3 specific issue, and that the Onkyo is working properly. I did a little further digging and found the answer on another forum... apparently the PS3 can't handle True HD Audio...

I understand what you mean, but my 7.1 G35 headset does a really great job of simulating it, even with two drivers. I was hoping to find a receiver that could do the same thing with connected headphones.

I guess I'll just have to buy a separate surround sound headset that's compatible with as many of my consoles as possible... it just seems like it would make sense for a receiver to be able to output to a surround sound headphone... guess we're just not there yet. I'll probably pick up that...

Thanks! I'll look into that receiver. I wonder if there's a similar one with a couple more HDMI inputs... As for the headset, I'm not sure how I could use my G35 headset with other devices. It's a USB set designed to be used with PC drivers, so unless the receiver has a USB port designed for...

Thanks for the reply, but I'm really having trouble picking one. It's easy enough to find one that I can hook the speakers up to, and with enough HDMI inputs... the hard part is figuring out a surround sound solution that utilizes headphones that can work with the receiver. I'd appreciate any...

Hi everyone, and thanks for reading and replying. I have an Sony STR-K670P that I've been using for over 15 years now. As a gamer, I've been getting by using the single S/PDIF input on it for surround sound, but my old receiver has finally met its match... the Nintendo Switch. Though I've...

Gah, that's what I get for buying a cheap receiver. Okay, thanks guys.

What about connecting through an optical connection? Would that be surround sound? I have an optical out card that I could switch into my computer and the receiver supports optical in. Alternatively, is there a way to convert from analog to digital? For example, could I have 5.1 analog coming...

That would require my DVD to have audio inputs which it unfortunately does not. :(

D'oh! It just has several stereo inputs, the digital input and the radio receivers. :/ Guess I'm out of luck.

Thanks for the quick reply!! How would I go about setting it up Analog? I'm sort of new to this. :/

Hello there. I didn't see a sound forum so I hope this is the right place to be posting this. My setup is fairly simple. I have a perfectly working 5.1 surround sound receiver that I use with my external DVD player which I connect to with a digital coaxial wire. No complaints there. Since I...
