congrats on your new ps3 , the speaker and hd monitor thing I don't know , but the headset you have I presume its blue tooth , just try pairing it with the ps3 , mind you I think you can only pair it with one device at a time .

 

The headset I have is the GameCom 777, which has a USB adapter. I guess I could just use the USB because it's not bluetooth or anything special. I just don't want to buy another one when this one cost me around $80 and it's not even a year old yet.

Regardless, there was a problem with my order and Newegg canceled my order flat out, so it looks like I will have additional time to figure out the setup

 

expensive headset , my blue tooth one was only 23 euro , there was something in today's firmware update 3.0 about multiple-audio outputs , this may help with your speaker's .

 

Well, the reason it was so expensive is because the USB adapter features built-in virtual surround sound... which is great for gaming. And it's a great headset on top of that which is why I'd love to be able to use it with the PS3. It also has around-the-ear style speakers so it's really comfortable; you could probably wear it all day. Unless I can find a decent headset for under $30 then I will try to use the one I have.

 

You can set video out to HDMI and audio out to HDMI, RCA, or Optical. It's probably just as easy to use the RCA connections TBH.

 

well, my monitor doesn't have built-in speakers so setting the audio to HDMI does little good... not sure I could even use RCA without a converter box or something. like i said i don't have a receiver anywhere near my computer so i can't hook anything up the traditional way. i guess optical is my best bet, but i wish i could just use the input jack on my right speaker and connect it to the PS3.
