I have been trying to find a Sony surround sound all in one system to replace my current Sony one, my current one has 3 hdmi in, I would like really to have more than 3 but definitely no less. I can't seem to find any other systems with this, mostly they seem to have only 1 out and none in, can any one point me in the direction of a suitable system if possible.
Thanks

On ps3 if I have sound set to.
Dolby digital 5.1
Linear PCM 2 44.1 and 48
I get 5.1 on games but not blu rays if I use what I used to have on when ps3 was directly in the AV which is dts 5.1 Dolby 5.1 dts hd etc I get 2.0 on games and blu rays

Unknown about games, but blurays are always good to test.
In the PS3 settings, try changing the Audio Output to Linear PCM (or if already set, try bitstream)

Also in the PS3 settings, try unticking all 2channel settings, and only leave 5.1 LPCM

It should be set to Linear PCM in the HDMI audio output settings. Basically the PS3 should be doing the decoding of the Audio. The reason why you got no sound is because the HT-SS100 cannot decode the audio.
If you look at the specs of the HT-SS100 under decoding format

For blurays, are you able to set it to DTS, and not DTS-HD? Maybe try a DVD instead (thats 5.1)
It all seems rather weird hey.

Do you have any suggestions of other ways to gain more hdmi's or a better surround sound perhaps
Maybe my tv can only do Dolby 5.1 and not this dts one.

Im glad its working at least. Yes the whole intention was for you to watch 3D AND gain HDMI spaces (1 extra anyhow), whilst still outputting surround sound.
I guess for extra HDMI ports, you could try one of these to connect to the HT-SS100:

Ive not seen them in action, so cannot really comment on their effectiveness - but at the cost of 3 pints (ish) its not too expensive.
Cheers

I was looking at the other surround sound options, where you buy everything separately, down bit is it's more money which I could save up if it's worth it but also I wouldn't have any idea what speakers to go with what AV receivers with om's and watts etc, so confusing.
Like this one http://www.sony.co.uk/product/hcs-home-cinema-receiver/str-dn840
