Actually the above tests and results seem to prove the exact opposite. The issue is with the computer, not the speakers. As stated by me earlier, repeatedly.

It should work (I can't be sure because nobody does this so I don't have any real info. to go on) as long as:
1. You make sure the PS3 is outputting stereo LPCM, no compressed audio streams
2. The PC is on
3. The audio card is manually set to spdif passthrough mode
Again though I can't promise that it will work. It should in theory.
