How to Hook a Tritton Headset Up to a PS3 Using HDMI

When you play online games, you can use a gaming headset to chat with your teammates. Tritton headsets can be set up through standard-definition - or SD - audio/video cables. Tritton headsets can also be set up with high-definition - or HD - audio/video cables. If you don't want to sacrifice your video quality by setting up your Tritton headset with standard audio/video connections - which must be plugged directly into your television's SD ports - you can use the headset's HDMI configuration.
