Sorry if this is the wrong place for this but I am really having some trouble getting a straight answer.

Ok I finally caved in and got once since the price went down. Heres the lowdown, I have the ps3, an hdmi to dvi cable and a digital optical audio cable. Now what I am doing since I dont have a tv my computer monitor is hd compatable, the brandname is "samsung Syncmaster 931bw". Now when I talked to the people at best buy i told them what i was doing how I wanted to run the ps3 through my comp monitor and they said I needed the hdmi cable. But I asked them about the sound and they said the computer speakers wont work, one guy told me to get the optical cable and just got to walmart and get a cheap 80 stereo and i could plug the cable from the ps3 to the stereo and get sound. but when I went to walmart the guy there said that the optical cable doesnt plug into those stereos he didnt really know anything helpful. So what I am asking is if there is anyone that might have exp in this situation and what is the easiest way to go about getting sound.

Thanks

This is really a development forum, not really meant for technical support.

You can use the hdmi->dvi cable for video, and also plug in the standard av cable that came with the ps3 and use that for audio.
