When I plug an hdmi cable into two or more video game consoles, the sound doesnt work. It only works if it's only got one plugged in. I have a multi-hdmi cable which allows for Nintendo, Xbox 360 and PS3 systems to hook up simultaneously. Unfortunately, to reitterate, the sound doesnt work if two or more are hooked together. I dont know why.

it looks like this: http://www.bestdealbuys.us/p/Madcatz-Mov06155v-04-Universal-Component-Cable-6-Ft-1-8m-110420282.html. If i have a PS3 running and connected, an xbox 360 component connected but turned off and a Wii connected but turned off, the ps3 will function without sound. If i unplug all but the PS3, the sound returns. I cannot have more than one video game console connected and have sound. THAT is my question. Why do i have to have only one connected...?
