Can this provide in-game sound instead that the sound go through the TV, or which one do you recommend for this?

No, this only provides you to hear everyone who also has a headset. This is perfect if you are playing online with people you know. But, if what you want is to hear in-game sound, you should try headphones. I think there is a PS3 headphone brand.

Typically, you would use a 15-pin VGA cable, (just like connecting to your computer's monitor) and a component audio if you want sound to play through the tv as well. If your computer has HDMI out, you can use that as an alternative.

Just set mine up. I do have a home theater system, so it isn't an issue with me. But I am also not impressed with the sound from the tv. You certainly should be able to hear it over other noise, even though it could be louder.

Thanks for all the answers. Yes, with the VGA cable the sound works. If i use the HDMI i lose the sound.

I prefer to hook my critical video equipment, especially reference equipment, directly to my monitor. You can use the ARC HDMI to get TV sound out of the Receiver.there 'has' to be 'some' information lost in the translation, imo.

You should, yeah. As long as the receiver has the correct HDMI input in the back, channeling the sound from the tv shouldn't be a problem at all. I have my Xbox One, PS4, and HD Cable Box setup through my receiver. All my tube does is provide the picture.

Sound does go through this cable. I have it run to my tv and then I run other audio cables to an external sound system with it and no issues.

No. It is designed to plug into the TV by optical cable so anything that plays on the TV the sound comes out the system. It's actually quite nice. Good luck.

You can, but their is no need. Connect the optical cable directly from the sound bar to the tv and the sound from your gaming system will play out of the sound bar assuming your gaming system is connected to the tv via a hdmi cable.

Hmm, well the tv is only really a monitor and wouldn't have anything to do with sound in this case right? Wouldn't you need to get the dolby sound from the broadcast source like your cable or directv box? e.g. connect your audio optical cord to the cablebox directly & plug directly into your HT setup.

The game sounds still come from the TV. The only thing you can hear are friends your playing with in the headset

I have a PS3 that is connected to my TV with HDMI. The TV outputs audio to the transmitter of these headphones, and I can hear them.Quality of sound isn't perfect, but it works fine for late night gaming. If your TV has 3.5mm output, or RCA output (white and red connections), then you're good to go.Remember, even when using hdmi, the PS3 can output via toslink or the old school PS2 connector thing.

Any sound coming from Xbox will come through the adapter. For example, we also listen to Amazon Prime shows and Youtube videos through it. My teenage son is providing this explanation for you. :)

It depends on how your TV delivers it's sound. If it has a low level analogue out(RCA jacks) you should have no problem(except for a possible delay in the sound. However if your only output is a headphone jack, it might defeat the TV sound. I can't really help you without your TV's manual.

As far as I know it captures all audio that comes through your tv/amp. For mutltiplayer games I would put the chat settings to come through both my Tv and my headset. Worked for gears of war 3 on 360. But remember the most important thing about this device is that your PC/Mac should be a beast lol. Make sure you meet or surpass the specs needed.

Use the optical connector. Our takes the sound from the tv back to the unit

I don't know if it disables the sound on the game console.....I only know it does when connected to my tablets....
