PS3 games have sound but no video

PS3 games have sound but no video - Low Angle View of Lighting Equipment on Shelf

It's probably been nearly a year since I played a game on my PS3 but today I decided wanted to play some. My PS3 is connected through HDMI. When I open the game I get no video but there is sound. I use the PS3 a lot (earlier today actually) for streaming Netflix and Hulu and there's no issues - video and sound work great. I tried several games (both discs and games on the HD) and got the same result - sound but no video. I swapped HDMI cables, changed HDMI ports on the TV, and held the power button for a few seconds during turn-on to reset the video settings but still no luck. I'm at a bit of a loss. If anyone has any other ideas I'd definitely appreciate hearing them!

    This can be related to the way the game plays back sound through the PS3 itself. If the PS3 is set to Surround Sound in the settings, but the device it's plugged in to does not support surround sound, the voices will not be heard and many or some sounds will not play correctly.
