How to Fix a PS3 to a TV With No Audio
The sound and visuals on a PlayStation 3, or PS3, are respected by many as being among the best in the gaming industry, but if your television doesn't have sound, you can still get a lot out of your system. Hooking up a PS3 to a television with no sound is basically the same as connecting it to a television with sound, though you have an option of what to do with a couple of extra cords.

1
Connect the "AV Multi Out" cord to the corresponding plug on the back of the PS3. Connect the yellow end of the cord to the yellow video input on the side or back of the television -- this will be marked "Video Input" on most televisions. Leave the white and red cords hanging, or insert them into the "L Audio" and "R Audio" in whatever order you like to get them out of the way.

Plug an optional "HDMI OUT" cable into the back of the PS3. Plug the other end into the "HDMI IN" location on your television if it is a newer flatscreen model with a flat back. The cord increases the quality of the video and sound.

Tips & Warnings
An HDMI cable will transfer both the image and sound to a television, so there is no need to connect the "AV MULTI OUT" cord when using HDMI.
