So when I first got GT5 I was still using my old CRT TV and a scart connection, great sound but didn't look so great. At Christmas I got a relatively cheap HD-ready LCD TV, and an HDMI cable. The game looks awesome now, but i am having some sound issues with GT5, in that during races the volume seems to often fade, almost as if it is panning through a speaker that isn't there (the TV has two relatively basic stereo speakers)

At first I though it was just tinny speakers not dealing with bottom end very well as it often seems to be when I change gear and the revs drop, so I am going to try some old PC speakers and subwoofer I have, either plugged into the headphone socket of the TV, or I will connect some way directly to the PS3.

Before I do so thought I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and there is a simple fix? In the PS3's settings I think the HD settings configured automatically, but it's set to 2.1 stereo sound i think, which should be correct? Does something else such as the bitrate perhaps need adjusting? As you can tell, I am no techie when it comes to such issues!
 
Not sure how this ended up on the wrong board but anyway fixed it, in the TV's sound settings AVLS (auto volume limiting system or similar) was set to On and it would seem was muting some of the sound. Sound it actually correctly set up as 2 channel.
