I have a similiar case of that with my AV receiver, except I have HDMI to the TV, Optical to the receiver. I also notice that in the XMB menus, the sound doesn't register as being on. It's almost as if the PS3 disables the audio output until there's consistant sound going through. So those clicks you hear switching from icon to icon in the XMBm unless I'm going through them fast, nothing comes out.

Secondly, the blue light on my Sony receiver that SHOULD go on when a DD or DTS sound is being received, does not go on. Still outputs as 5.1 though. do notice thought that the receiver mentions 'PCM' audio being output in both the XMB and on DVDs, as opposed to when I play through my DVD player, it says "Dolby Digital 5.1" or "DTS 5.1" etc. I've set the audio settings to output 5.1 and DTS, and I do get the 5.1 sound, but the receiver isn't quite picking it up normally.
