Surround Sound with PS3?

PS3 to surround sound help?

I have a 160 gb PS3 slim, a 52 inch LCD Sony TV, and a Boston Acoustic Surround sound system. My ps3 is hooked up to my tv via HDMI cable, the Boston Acoustic is connected to my TV via Optic Link, now i try to get surround sound on my ps3 but the boston acoustics doesnt pick it up and i get no sound. I also have my direct TV box connected to my Boston Acoustics, and i get surround sound, when i connected an iPhone/iPod/ect to the boston acoustics, i get the sounds, but i cant get the sound from the PS3 its on the right source but its not working. PS3 connected to TV through HDMI, TV connected to Boston Acoustics through Optic Link, what do i do?
Answer:

Connect optical cable directly from PS3 to sound system for audio, not from TV to sound system.
