    Hey guys.
    I just got my m17x r3 and I'm having trouble hooking up my ps3 in to the hdmi input port.
    While the picture comes on, (although colors looks as if they are in lower bits, is this normal?) the sound doesn't seem to work properly.
    The sound worked when I'm in the systems menu, but as soon as I launch a game, I hear a very loud cracking statics even when I turn off the speaker.
    I looked all over the internet and while I found one of the thread here talking about the same issue, the solution came from that thread did not work with my case.
    Any help is appreciated!
