List of games incompatible with Digital / Optical audio out?

[braschlosan]

My ps2 has always been connected with component cables and digital audio. The component cable I'm using doesnt even have audio connections on it.

Is there a list of games that wont output sound digitally? So far I have found two and was lucky enough to be able to return them.

i always thought that if a game did'nt do digital surround output that the console put regular stereo output over the digital connection.

I've been running my console connected to speakers over optical since i bought it and have not found a game that does'nt output sound yet. I have bought some old games (launch title: ridge racer V) and some very recent titles (Mortal Kombat Armageddon) and many in between with no problem you speak of.

I think the only game that doesn't work is the japanese initial D game

The only game I have that doesn't work through the optical port is Parappa the Rapper 2. Sucks that it doesn't work.

i use the optical output only and i get sound for all games. The only game i know that has digital theater sound is GTA:vice city where you can select DTS sound

I will try to remember the name of the game I returned. It was a unique puzzle game with fireworks IIRC.

Maybe we can start to create the list since a search on google didnt return good results.

Wuz: Yes thats true. Im talking about a few games that have no digital output at all, stereo or otherwise.


zaxour: So initial d has no sound at all over when connected to the optical out?

Z-Saber: Parrapa 2 has no sound when connected over optical?

[Z-Saber]

From my experience it doesn't.

SSX3 also has DTS output

IIRC GRADIUS III & IV also doesnt work with optical output.
