There should be 5 input and 5 output on a HD PVR:

Video:
Red
Blue
Green

Audio:
White
Red

After connecting every thing, on your PS3 go to:
Settings > Sound Setting > Audio Output Settings
Put this option to: Audio Input / SCART / AV MULTI

Now on Sound Settings you should see Audio Multi-Output. Turn that on.

Now going back to your PC: Make sure you are using Total Extreme Media (TEM)

Open TEM and go to Record Video. If you look to the left you should see the settings (Make sure HD PVR USB is plug in and Console is on). Make sure Audio Input is RCA Back.

I did. But it didnt work. My pc AND tv arent making any sound from my ps3. But anyway i think i found out how to fix it. Im going to get a component cable that also has red and white attached to it

Go to your PS3 and change the sound settings. That's likely your problem... or you have the plugs in the wrong spots.

Moving this to the video section where it should have been in the first place.

thanks for your help but i already fixed this. I returned the optical cable and got a component cable that has stero red and white cables attached to it
