Elgato HD + Playstation 3 + HDMI Splitter (for HDCP) Recording & Playback Problems

So, to record PSTV and PS4 games without having to mess with HDCP I purchased the Splitter recommended by everyone on the board.

For PS4 and PSTV games it works fine.
When I play the game, it records everything without a problem and lets me play uninhibited.

So I decided to try it with the PS3 so I didn't have to mess with changing the console over the component for every recording.

Worked fine, then when I started up a CD game I got a big warning "Dolby Digital Audio Not Supported" and all sounded is missing from the recording/playback

Yet, on the dashboard, in aps, and all downloaded games and softward (PSN, PS3, PS1 and PS2 games) sound is recorded in the playback AND the Dolby Digital warning does NOT pop up.

We tested it with 3 Disk Games

Beyond Two Souls, South Park Stick of Truth, and BulletStorm.. all had the Dobly Digital and new sound in the recording/playback

YET after testing 20 aps, and games on the system.. they all worked fine.

So what is going on?

Part of the reason I wanted to try use the HDMI was due to recording/playback issues of the PS3 component being extremely static when going through the Elgato. Things sounded like they were going to blow out my speakers on certain movies, and videos when the recording wasn't in use and I was to lazy to reset up the HDMI portion.

This is the Splitter I am using.

Anyone?

Here is the message I keep getting

It's for all RETAIL games, be it digital or on disk
Yet PSN games (ones you cannot buy at retail, but can on PSN) work fine..

It's weird.

Have you tried rebooting the Elgato (pull the USB cable, let it sit for a minute, and plug it back in)? Any time I had weird issues with my Elgato, rebooting it tended to fix them. 

What's your audio set-up? Audio/video through HDMI? What are your settings like on the Elgato?

Thank you for replying!

Everything is default, and it only happens when I am in retail games on the PS3 (or digital versions of retail)

I've not tried pulling the cord out and putting it back in.. but I have connected and reconnected the HDMI portions and I shut off my pc regularly.. and it keeps happening each time.

I can retry right now though.

Wait, Im confused. I thought the PS3 was unable to be used with HDMI on any capture device. So the switch will allow you to use HDMI with PS3 and Elgato?

YEP!

I fixed the sound by turning off Dolby Digital Surround as well.
