PS3 Audio Question

ps3

I recently bought a PS3 for use on my computer monitor.
My monitor has only a DVI , VGA, and power port; I plan on using a HDMI to DVI cable for use on the PS3 and then using an outlet for the power.

My question is can I simply plug in a USB headset into the PS3 and have audio without using component/RCA audio cables?

Unfortunately, this won't work. The PS3 only uses USB/Bluetooth headsets for sound inputs.

From the PS3 Compatible Headsets FAQ:

Please note that a headset is only used for in-game communication and will not output the sounds from a game.

However, the PS3 seems to support multi-audio out, it just isn't clear if that's only on the TOSLINK connector or if that would apply to the standard A/V sound outputs as well.

You may also be able to find an HDMI to DVI convertor that has an audio cable as well.
