Hey, so I don't have TV, I connected PS3 to my Monitor via HDMI (monitor doesn't support HDMI so I used HDMI to DVI converter). So no sound.
I have small like 3.5mm jack cable which splits into red, blue and green. I tried using the composite cable from PS3 to connect directly to that going into Line In (blue port) didn't work or not sure of settings.
help please? I need sound .

oh, sucks. What are my options other than buying a TV?
I'm not 100% sure what you're saying, though the 3.5mm jack on your LCD monitor will output sound to go to a set of speakers. If it doesn't you may need to check the settings on the monitor or something.

Actually, I think you can. My set up has my video going out of my PS3 via HDMI, and audio going through component/composite. To set it up, I think you have to go to sound settings -> audio output settings in the XMB.

I am not sure which to which to connect. As in:
From PC it comes out female cables : Green, blue and red,
while from PS3 it comes out male White, red, yellow.

nevermind guys, got it working.
Just for future to anyone:
PS3 Component cable -> White to Blue/Red to Green -> PC Line in (blue) and change settings.

Apperantly I'm a wizard then, because I can.
Requires you to force it to output video via HDMI, and audio out via composite.
Look in the settings menu.
It's very easy to enable this via the output settings :v
It's already solved, but I'll post the simplest method for future reference:
1 - Connect the HDMI to the monitor as usual
2 - get yourself one of these adaptors:

3 - plug the component / composite cable (RED and WHITE, not yellow) into the female inputs of the adapter
4 - Plug the adapter into the computers mic input, and make sure you set it to listen to the device (so that you can hear the input through your PC spreakers)
5 - Go into sound settings on your PS3, and set the sound to be output through composite / component.
Done.

And also if it sounds like shit, plug it into the REAR microphone/line in jack, not the front.
My front mic jack can't handle my PS2 but my line in can.
