EXTREME loud static noise while recording PS3 with an HDMI capture card

Hey guys, I hope you can help me with that. I'm new and I try to record / Stream my PS3. I bought a HDMI Capture Card (since I can't afford an Elgato yet), also a HDMI Splitter, various cables, because my PS3/4/TV are in the opposite corner as my desk (I bought an USB extension cable lol).

Everything seemed fine, I've got the PS3 captured, it was easy to set up a scene with the Capture Card and after a short while I figured out how to add sound of the Capture Card (it was weirdly called "USB Audio Device", and I couldn't figure out immediately that it "belonged" to the Capture Card. xD

Well, everything worked fine, my TV was showing the menu, I turned off the TV and I could monitor the sound of the XMB in my Macbook, so I could hear what was happening with my PS3 using my Macbook. Perfect!

But then I started "Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale" and then came the REALLY loud annoying static noise. No sound from game at all.

I muted the "USB Audio" to check whether the sound on my TV is also with that horrible static. No. Game works and sounds fine with my TV.

I tried to start a PS1 game "Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus" with my PS3, and it worked well. Sound of the game could be captured and no such static. My FAT PS3 died due to the Yellow Light of Death so I can't test any PS2 games atm. But I guess they'd work fine.

So the static seems only to be with PS3 games. What is this noise, where does it come from, and how can I fix that?

Thanks! Greetings from Germany,

Okay, huh, fixed it myself xD. If you have the same issue, just go to the sound settings on your PS3, select "audio output settings" -> "HDMI" and then "Manual" . Simply uncheck everything except the default "Linear PCM 2 Ch. 44. 1kHz" and "Linear PCM 2 Ch. 48kHz".

And then there should be no disturbing staric noise any more! :) At least it worked for me, now I can hear any PS3 games in OBS/Streamlabs :)
