General Ps3 Thread

[barraspalding]

Couldn't locate just a general PS3 thread (i looked in the first 2 pages of threads) so BAM!. Go!

Anyone notice in one of the recent PS3 updates (prob within the last 6-12 months) that you can no longer play a song, then then press the PS button n do other things in the menu whilst the song plays?

It now prompts you to exit the song. I like being able to que up a song or playlist, then go into my photo's and start a slideshow...

And there alternative to this - the slideshow manager or photo manager fancy program on there is shite.

There's a simple fix to this.

Simply go to - SETTINGS > Music Settings > Output Frequency

Change to 48kHz... Problem solved

There's a reason for this but I cbf explaining it right now.

You can now start slideshows and browse the web whilst listening to music. Many games off the PS Store also let you play your music while playing the game.

Ok cheers bud... But when you muster the energy I'm keen to know the back story... I'm a stickler for the details

Fk yea... Works like it Used to again.

I'm curious why PS have not released more visualisations for the music... the flowing coloured curtain with stars, earth n moving land... need some newbies

This will explain it a bit.

If I remember correctly, it's also because websites generally have 48khz sound mixing. Meaning before you couldn't listen to music whilst browsing the web whereas now you can.
