Hi, I've had a set of Creative Inspire 5700 speakers for about 5 years which I know aren't the best speakers in the world, but are great for what I want and have served me well over the years, but I have recently encountered my first problem with them. I've tried connection my new ps3 to them using the optical connection, but the receiver isn't recognising the signal. I thought this was a bid odd considering I recently (about 2 weeks) had V+ installed and it worked fine on the BBC HD channel and the optical connection had always worked fine on my Xbox 360. So I decided to try both of them again. Now, neither of these work, so I presume it is a problem with the receiver. My question is, does this happen a lot? I mean, is it a common problem for the optical socket to fail, or is there some other test I can do to see if it is indeed a problem with this socket. The speakers work fine with analogue connections (either line in or coaxial cables), and I haved tried two different optical cables and the problem still persists. It goes without saying that I would really rather not buy a new set of speakers.
