Playstation 5 Arctis Pro Wireless Setup and Volume
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 ноя 2020
- This is a demonstration of using the Arctis Pro Wireless Headset and transmitter with the Playstation 5 console. I also discuss the low volume issue I have not been able to resolve.
Just a quick note, they do work under the PS4 option on main Menu of transmitter with the usb cable plugged into the PS5 USB, I’m using them with no issues and after shutting off the Audio limiter they sound amazing and loud.
Arctis released a fw update that provided direct compatibility with PS5. I also ran into this issue but after updating the FW i was able to crank up the volume to a level I actually enjoy.
Not sure why it didn’t work for me. I did the firmware update on the SteelSeries engine and nothing. My DAC just displays the PS5 input but the problem persists. The volume is still way way way too low as if no firmware update even occurred. Help!
@@handsomeasiandude1126 hi, did u manage to solve it?Having the same problem.
@@martonburak5671 yes and this is instructed by a rep from steelseries. Just go to your ps5 settings and adjust volume to max (I put near max) level. You can now adjust headset volume to as loud as you want and trust me it can get pretty loud. Btw I would not recommend any of the DAC presets. I really had to take the time to make my own configuration but it was worth it. My custom preset outshines all the Steelseries ones by far
You can set it to PlayStation for in the settings and it will make it very loud. But what what I’ve noticed is it starts to cut in and out on you after a while play
I have ran them with the hdmi adapter and without the sound is pretty much the same to me. Might even be better without the adapter. But would say make sure your chat mix is all the way to the game sound and enable 7.1 surround sound. I would also adjust the EQ as well as for me at least hook up the DAC to the computer and enable bass boost to high and I have the vocal boost to low that’s just my preference.. But it should help for me different games sound louder than others such as modern warfare it’s very loud.. I suggest looking at the audio settings in each game as well
have you tried adjusting the EQ in the Arctis Engine software? i have Arctis 1 Wireless and i had the same issue. when i plug into the aux port using my 3.5mm jack and the sound is flat and using Sony sound settings or eq. but when i switch to wireless, where my custom EQ settings are saved, it sounds much louder that my volume dial is half way versus all the way up on the aux port.
I use them on the ps4 setting and it works really well.
Also the steelseries Web site says new firmware is not out yet for ps5! Use it in the ps4 setting and it works just fine and you adjust the audio/chat mix through the ps5 when you tab the ps button at the bottom.
I have mine set to PS4, as that what Steel Series says to have it at, till a new update comes out. All that update will do is just add PS5 wording to the transmitter box. Other than that, I have a custom EQ goin, and it sounds great. I'll be the first to say it isn't AS loud as it was on the PS4 but I think that is because of the 3D audio doin it's thing. I've considered testing putting the optical audio cable straight to my tv, to see if it would do anything, but I think it would also negate the 3D audio and internal system chat mix. I kinda wish Steel Series would just put up a how to video, in case something needs to be tweaked
I'm glad its not only me, lol. I hooked up optical to tv and RUclips and everything else on PS5 sounds great, but when I load up warzone, game still sounds like trash. Don't get me wrong its loud but sounds sloppy even when I adjust via equalizer. What is everyone using? Are you leaving 7.1 on and what do you suggest for that Bass Enhancement and Dialogue enhancement? I noticed when I hooked up optical to tv I lost the 3D sound. I purchased a optical adapter so will see if that helps out. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I use the astro A50's on my Xbox series X and they sound great without the optical cable. Hopefully these expensive ass headsets get a update sooner than later!
Holy shiet i got a jump scare from the super loud "hello" from the left side at the start it scared the hell out of me.
Dude, if you buy a usb switch (I got the ugreen 2 port one) you can plug the box into both the ps5 (usb at the back works) and your pc so you can use the headset and mic on both systems! All you then have to do is switch between pc and ps5 on the headset depending on which you are using. 3D audio on ps5 also works this way. Just make sure you update the new firmware first to get the ps5 option for the headset.
I use the PS4 setting on my DAC for my PS5. Fir my sound i chose audio Out from my PS5 via HDMI to tv then optical out from TV to DAC then chose linearPCM and 7.1 in my PS5 settings and its loud enough to blow my eardrums out at half volume.
Can it be connected via PS5 with a cable or with the bluetooth? that way i can keep the dock for my PC?
I went to the product page and apparently it's only quiet when you enable the 3D audio option. When you disable it, it's much louder.
Would you say it's better to use am ectractor so you can use an optical cable DTS and all other function
For the time being until they hopefully bring out an update to make headset louder go to chat mix on transmitter and change it all the way to “chat” it makes it louder
That's a very good point! I noticed last night it helped. Demon Souls actually sounds loud enough to me now. I also don't know if I'm supposed to enable or disable the surround sound setting on the transmitter.
I use the surround sound and yes move it all the way to chat
No just connect it properly using the digital optical cable and it will be way louder and crisper without artificially turning up the EQ causing clipping.
On the mixer I maxed everything out because i had the same problem
Go to settings and disable volume limiter from a laptop. And adjust the equalizer through the laptop also. That should fix the issue. Go to custom eq and make it your own settings.
You can disable it through the mixer tho anyway?
Can you control the chat mix from the headset or just from the dac?
There is a firmware update that will add the PS5 to the transmitter according to the steelseries website, maybe this might fix it 😬
Great video I have heard that the transmitter gets really hot when plugged into the PS5? Also is your PS5 lay flat without the stand?
I use the stand in horizontal mode as instructed but it does not wobble
Mine doesn’t get hot
@@isarafan it’s best to use the stand, I heard it’s for better air flow
Change it from all audio to chat audio. Then use the mixer button on the headset to adjust between chat and game audio when you are in a game. For example when i play warzone i'd put it more towards the game audio than my teammates.
If I do this I would not have sound at all, any tips on that?
No song at all when you do that bro
@@JahIAMJah yeah you do that's why you use the base station with the headset. Thats what I have
@@hengeloserickkert3754 use the base station with the headset you will get the audio it is the proper way to set it up and that is directly from steel series.
@@ChiGodd thanks for the response 👌🏻
Is it possible to use it only for television instead of plug in into ps5?
same issue! I got to the point I ordered a pair of 7p for my ps5 and compared. the &p sounds wayyy better. louder a lot louder clearer also 3d in wz and Cold War works amazing
I really want to keep my wireless pros but don't know what to do here. I have two weeks left for return...ahhhh
I figured it out, I had that same issue. Go into your EQ turn everything up. Also turn your chatmix all the way to the right.
lol thats what i did
Ate you being stupid or serious
@@K4LKing i have a custome EQ and the chat mix 3 clicks from full chat mix. So my chat mix is turned up to like 75% for when i play cod.
Nope this is not how you fix it. You need to ensure you are getting digital quality sound via the optical and not use output of audio via USB. Just plug the DAC in your TVs optical input and then change the PS5 settings to only output chat audio over USB
@@kennyofatoboiyo7447 Cool, welp I’ve been using it and it sounds good to me. Maybe your way will sound outstanding!
How is the mic quality in party chat?
Plug the optical audio cable into your tv and mix amp. Then go back to your audio settings on your PS5 and switch your audio out from Arctis Pro Wireless to hdmi/tv. This made a huge difference for me! Hope this helps.
Are you able to hear the party and use the mic?
@@public727 Yes both PlayStation parties and pc players through Discord.
my bad for bein slow but what is the mix amp? the black box?
The audio sounds good for me with my Pro wireless
Can you change the mix between the party and the game by the wheel in the headset? Thanks
I couldn’t, had to do it manually
I use a optical cable and changed from all
Audio to chat audio on the ps5 settings and thats it mind blowing after I did that. Amazing sound and super loud.
Did you lose the 120hz @4K when using the optical adapter ?
@@franklopez7974 I’m doing the same thing as this guy, and no I dnt think you lose the 120hz at 4K, as long as Yu get a compatible extractor.
just plug it into the tv, no adapter neeeded.
@@ps3Rambo21 do u use all sound or chat mic thx
@@stargazer9164 gotta be set to chat on ps5
Hey, man, hope all is well. I was thinking about getting a pair of these in white because they match the PS5 so well.
I wanted to ask if you’re still experiencing that quietness issue? That’d be a deal-breaker.
That have a section on their website where they say how it should be “compatible out the box,” but wanted to ask the man who has them himself.
Also, apparently there is an optional update you can do so your transmitter says “PS5” btw.
I bought these 2 days ago and I experienced the quietness issue. I use a 4k computer monitor with no optical plug, so I can't use the workaround people have mentioned. Straight out of the box, this headset sounds flat and quiet. I returned them the same day. My old PS4 gold headset sounds way better.
hey everyone same problem here, for you to get the full audio effect of the arctis pro is by plugging the wire with the 3.5mm audio jack that comes in the box to ps5 controller. it sucks that i have to plug in a wire but right away you see that this way sounds way louder.
If playing by yourself plug in your second controller your not using into it. Than you're not tethered.
There’s a volume limiter on the Dac settings near the bottom of the menu. Turn it off and will be much louder
Plug the optical cable from the transmitter straight into the optical cable into the TV it works like a charm however when you turn the headset on all the volume will go to the headset none will flow through the TV. That obviously won’t be a problem whenever you’re not using the mic tho
Sound comes through the tv and headset when I do it like that
@@RAIDERNATION509 it should not I have it this way you need to learn your settings because I have mine this way and no sound through TV unless I want it like that I can make them work for just watching TV at night and don't want to be loud with family around sounds amazing I had it this way on my ps4pro too
We need a 3D audio or I guess a audio comparison video in general. We have a pulse 3D vs arctis 7p video. For 3D audio games pulse comes on top but we haven’t seen vs arctis pro with 3D audio. For regular audio obviously steelseries wins everytime however. 7p are designed for the ps5 and arctis pro arent but I wonder if from the raw specifications it can power through and be the best experience out of all of them
A firmware update will make it fully compatible with the ps5, per Steelseries.
I own both pro wireless and the pulse. I find myself liking the pulse way more than the pro wireless. I just miss the Bluetooth cause I can take calls at home while playing games on my pro wireless.
@@greenage331 what kind of cap is that. The wireless pro is literally better in every single way possible
Since there is no optical cable plug in on the ps5 I hooked it up to my TV but idk if that did anything or not? I'm just not sure of I'm getting all the good sounds and all that thru my headphones. How can I tell? It seems to be working fine but idk I haven't really had a good pair of headphones on a long time so I'm not sure. Also do I get thr same sound if I hook it up to my controller? Or will I not get surround sound that way? Thanks for any help?
Exactly man how can we be sure the 3D stuff is coming through
The SteelSeries support page says to set it to PS4 not to PC
Yes, just found that out myself. Much more gain from ps4/ps5 mode.
Still doesn't resolve the low quality audio issue. HDMI audio extractor does, however the party chat audio is very very low. I bought the Sony PS5 headphones to tie me over, however I'm missing the battery replacing solution of the Arctis. I called Steelseries support the day I got my PS5 (Nov. 12th 2020) and they told me the firmware update would be out at the end of November, it's mid Jan. still no update.
@@jermainemurray1633 How do you find the pulse headset in comparison to the Arctis? In terms of sound quality and functions?
I bought these for ps4 , hands down best headset I’ve had, still are. Got my ps5 , had the same issue your having the shit was waaay too quiet on 3D audio , which I was excited to try cuz of how advertised it was, but once I plugged them in it was jus quiet as hell . So I bought and HDMI extractor so now I could use the optical cable, and now they sound exactly like they should, surround sound , hella loud and good ass quality. Only downside is you wnt get the 3D audio anymore, but for me the surround sound and better volume jus sounds a whole lot better , idk if there’s a fix for 3D audio but if there is I’d like to know , maybe I’ll use it if it wasn’t too dam quiet. That HDMI extractor only cost me bout $25 , and it’s absolutely worth it with how good they sound.
I know 5 months late…..but you can plug the optical cable straight into your tv without buying an extractor to achieve the same results. You would then just leave the output on the ps5 to “hmdi/tv”
@@Jc50gt help me with this. I have a Sony x900h but I don’t know if I can tell the difference in sound
@@alohabychoicefa9968 have you plugged the optical cable into your tv? If you dont know if it has one, you can check the back of your tv and it should be labeled. Assuming you have it plugged in, just switch the audio out option to “HDMI”.
Let me know if that helped or if you have a more specific question
Edit: i just googled the model of your tv and it says it does have an optical port on the back of your tv.
@@Jc50gt Looking into getting a pair of these myself to use with my PS5. Does it matter which setting you have the transmitter set to (PS4vs PC)? I'd need to buy an optical cable to go along with it, does it matter which one?
@@JayTen you need to leave it on ps5 setting (headset got an update so it says ps5 now instead of ps4). The headset comes with an optical cable in the box. The reason you leave it on ps5 setting is because the receiver still needs to be plugged into the back of your ps5 so you can use the chat functions of the headset. The receiver that is now plugged into your ps5 will use the included digital optical cable to plug into the back of the receiver and the other end into the back of your tv.
Bonus: if you dont plug the receiver into the back of your ps5, you can plug the receiver into the wall (i have an extension chord to reach) and plug the digital optical cable into the back of the receiver and the other end into the back of your tv to listen to any audio coming out of the tv. Example, you can be watching your cable providers tv content and listening to their audio through the headset….basically ANY and i mean ANY audio coming out of the tv you will be able to listen through the headset if you set up this way (and the game console does not need to be on for that to work).
Thats how i have mine setup so it can work with my Series X as well. I wanted one headset for my ps5 and Series X. The only thing you will be missing is the ability to use the headsets chat mic (Because it will be plugged into the wall/extension chord and not the ps5 directly). I don’t play online games so that was never an issue for me.
Hope this way too long of a reply helps lol 👍
Edit: any optical cable will work. You can buy a super long optical cable off of amazon if you needed to. But as i mentioned, there is one included in the box.
The only "fix" I've found is to make a customer EQ with all the frequencies raised by 3. Raising them all the way ruins the audio quality. 3 is a good compromise for now.
Chat audio it actually is all audio but connected to the base station it is very loud.
Set it to PlayStation/PS4/PS5. PC drops the gain on audio.
Mine works great the source needs to be on ps4 and I would make sure your volume limiter is off. As well as adjust the EQ I have bass boost set to high and dialogue set to low . I would make sure they are updated as well
Do you have arcris pro ?
How to set volume limiter to off ?
Yes I have the wireless pro... it’s in the control box the volume limiter or you can also set it to off on the computer when setting it up
I had same issue, I max out all Volume on PS settings. After a power cycle everything came to life 🤦🏻♂️ I’m not seeing any updates available for me could u please let me know the current version
Put the transmitter on ps4 mode instead and it should work fine, thats also what it says on the steelseries.com support. They haven't come out with the ps5 firmware just yet.
I've had the same issue and solved it by simply putting the transmitter in Ps4 mode other than PC mode..
It's a lot louder on the PS4 option on the transmitter then on the PC option
So this is what you need to do until we get a firmware update for the ps5. Use the digital optical lead that comes with the headset and plug it into your tv and into your transmitter, this is no doubt the best sound we are going to get at the moment but it will be basic stereo sound and it's alot louder and clear. Optical digital cable will always be clearer than USB audio and i don't understand why they did not put this option onto the ps5. Also make sure you have turned limited volume off in the settings on the transmitter, also getting a splitter will only slightly improve your sound and in my opinion is not worth it even with the USB optical lead. Am just using optical lead straight into tv for now and that is very loud and clear, hopefully firmware update will be here soon
The usb supplies power to the transmitter, so do you plug that into the ps4? Then, the ps5 recognizes audio source as the Arctis and I get no sound. Also, I have a soundbar plugged into the optical port of my tv, so I don't think that will work.
@@isarafanyes plug it in. have you gone into sound settings and made sure it has reconised the headset? You should be getting sound coming through
@@isarafan I would connect the sound bar via hdmi cable and use the optical out for the headset transmitter. HDMI actually provides better sound quality to the soundbar also FYI.
@@TheEzwider88 can't do that all my HDMI ports are used up since I don't have a receiver
I put mine in Linear mode and turned the limiter off and they are much louder
How do I update the firmware for these? Do I plug the transmitter into my pc via usb?
Yes ,and you have to download the steel series engine software. When you transmitter is plugged into the computer, once you launch the software it will tell you that a firmware update is available, if you are on an older version.
What about the headset it self do you need also to connect to engine app ?
Not sure if you've done this already but the headset comes with the volume limiter on, you have disable that. That might do the trick, again not sure if you did already.
How do I do this
@@shawnferrari1533 its in the transmitter audio menu
Can you speak to how much the audio quality in this headset is impacted by using the USB vs the optical (for PS4 for example)?
I haven't been successful with optical
Just use the optical coming off your television it works fine I did it and it works flawless and sounds o So clean clear and loud af
I was playing around with the transmitter and the PS4 sounded louder when I put the chat mix all the way to chat instead of game.
Hey did you shut off the audio limiter on the transmitter? I did it and they sound like twice better lol and loud.
I did. At first when I connected to PS5 the sound quality was so bad I almost gave up and bought a new one. Now I can say I’m satisfied again using the Arctic Pro Wireless on ps5.
Just use a hdmi audio extractor and plug the optical adapter from the transmitter box to the extractor, 2 hdmi cables, one from the ps5 to the extractor, one from the extractor to your TV or monitor.
Only down side is that you lose the 120hz @ 4K when using transmitter extractor
@@franklopez7974 that's very true, however currently there are very few ps5 games that can operate at 120fps 4k....this headset is not looking at getting a next gen update either, I would personally recommend the PC38X for the ps5
Hello, what if I want to switch from gaming on PS5 to PC do I have to unplug the cable all over again and plug it into the PC?
duh
@@Wu-Fei duh what
I just bought this today and thought the same thing. I plugged in the optional power cable thinking maybe that would boost it. I turned off volume limit also. And I tried plugging it into the back USB ports.
Overall it is loud enough that I couldn’t understand what my wife was saying to me.
I’m still happy with the purchase, but I’m looking forward to the firmware update.
Gotta connect optical to the television. Gotta find way to connect the optical to get the premium sound out of these headsets.
Im not sure if you’ve found how to fix the issue but on artics website it shows how to set it up, update the base station, put it to ps4 source and thats it, my artics pro wireless sound perfect and when I turn the volume all the way up it’s loud, also the down side right now is you can’t control the game and party chat volume, Ps5 should hopefully bring a update to let 3rd party headsets use or implement a way to contorl it
Yeah since then I've got it to work in ps4 mode I just don't know if surround needs to be on, and mine still sounds a bit quiet
As steelseries has on their "compatible" list, it says you can configure volume/chat volume on ps5 (if not now, then maybe later) they have a patch for the transmitter, but only gives a ps5 name with own EQ. (If you use it on both ps5 and ps4
You need to put it in the back of your PS5.
Also if you have the Pulse or other headset Bluetooth usb sticks.
And controller cable goes in the front of the PS5.
Go to the equalizer in the settings and change volume limited or something like that from yes to no 🤙🏻🙂
Did that
On the base station. Put game audio all the way to game instead of chat. This is because of the all audio setting to headset in the ps5 menu.
Then later when in a party adjust the balance between chat and game in the ps5 menu
@@isarafan you need the optical trust me!
I have the pro wired and i just downloand de firmware actualization from steel series page, Now the dac itself has the option of PS5.
Is the firmware available for the wireless version too?
@@halalpork im not sure about that, but i think. they should have it in a more expensive headset.
Under audio output change the “output to headphones” from all audio to chat audio
Bro why does everyone keep saying this? It doesn’t work like that it has to be on all audio. I’m switching it and it doesn’t work in just chat audio. And what’s dumb is that I have to move the dial from game audio all the way to chat for it to be louder
@@TheSubZero187 You've probably got it set up wrong, or you're not using the optical cable. "All Audio" is only necessary if you are using just USB for game and chat audio. Using only USB has drastically lower quality game audio. There is a _HUGE_ improvement when using optical. For this to work, you need to use Optical _and_ USB. Optical for game audio, and USB handles your mic duties.
Set it up like this, and you'll hear how this headset is supposed to sound.
Optical from TV or AV receiver to wireless transmitter, or GameDAC if you're using the wired version of the Arctis Pro.
USB from PS5 to transmitter/GameDAC.
On your PS5:
Settings>Sound>Microphone
For Input device: USB Headset (Arctis Pro Wireless) [or Arctis Pro]
Next;
Settings>Sound>Audio Output
Output Device: USB Headset (Arctis Pro Wireless) [or Arctis Pro]
Headphones:
Output to Headphones: Chat Audio (THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART!! DO *_NOT_* SET IT TO ALL AUDIO. "ALL AUDIO" RESULTS IN THE OPTICAL SIGNAL BEING IGNORED ALTOGETHER.)
General:
Audio Format (Priority): Bitstream (Dolby)
Should work like a charm. Optical handles your game audio and USB handles your mic.
You also may need to adjust your TV's audio output settings to optical as well. I didn't have to for my Samsung TV. But, a friend of mine with a Vizio TV _did_ have to change the setting manually for it to work.
Hope that helps.
@@imcnblu will give this a try.. thank you. I’m not the best at moving settings around, but I will try this right now :)
@@imcnblu damn, I have everything setup through the usb option, since my ps5 does not have an optical option. But I have everything as stated, but I have to change HEADPHONE option to ALL AUDIO because it plays everything out my tv if I don’t :(
Pretty sure by default all SteelSeries headsets are set with the volume limiter on. So you'll have to connect the headset to you computer pull up the GG Engine, turn it off then save your settings.
Don't you have a optical out on your TV? If you have put ps4 mode on the data mix . On ps4 put hdmi device (AV amplifier) on output device settings on ps4. Hdmi device tipe must be av amplifier. You will loose the 3d audio but you will get the surround and the sound is 100 times better.
3d audio vor tv ist coming soon
now you can update firmware for ps5
Did you fixed the volume issue? Cuz I'm buying this headset but if it has trouble I don't want it.
As an all around headset with multiple devices definitely get it but strictly for ps5 maybe stick with their official sony one for 3D audio for now
@@isarafan I got astros A40TR already I like getting the best of the best I can't buy the Sony tho thanks for the feedback.
Another thing is I haven't seen a good footstep video setting for the artics. Can you make a video on that?
turn off 3D audio feature. my steelseries were significantly lower in game i think because the headset already filters sound really well like footsteps for example and the built in 3D audio feature is basically another filter. so combining the two makes for a super overly filtered sound if that makes sense. was 100% fine and loud when i turned off 3D audio!
3D audio is a big feature of ps5 so why advertise the headset as ps5 compatible if it doesn't work with the core audio technology.
@@isarafan from what i understand steelseries doesn’t have the PS5 source mode on the receiver for their wireless pro headsets available yet. so that might explain why its over-filtering the noise instead of working in unison with the feature bc its yet to be properly optimized.
@@isarafan it already has 7.1 Dolby the 3d sound is really unnecessary and I think the Dolby digital 7.1 I know where all players are at all times so I honestly don't have this problem with sound being low maybe you bought a fake set but maybe they have flaws too mine have been perfect since ps4pro was bought n still going strong
You need to get and hdmi adapter I got the Astros
I don't have this issue, maybe play around with your settings on the actual headset making sure your volume is maxed out.
Hopefully they will release an update which gives the input of ps5 on the transmitter cause I need to be able to switch from game chat and party chat from the headset
I spent a few extra bucks to buy hdmi/optical splitter on amazon. Works like a charm now on the ps5.
And you wasted your money too

i got this information from Webboard turtlebeach
1. If your TV Has an Optical output Port you should be able to use that port.
2. If your TV Has not an Optical output. You have to use HDMI Splitter as ref.

Did u find a fix ??
Please let me know
Not fully...The representative told me to wait for the firmware
Follow you manual included with the headset. It should help to fix your problem. A friend of mine had the same problem. + Connection via optical cable via a hdmi splitter is better. This way you can adept your chatmix volume..
@@isarafan how long do you think it will take?
Update the headset and put it on ps4 also if unwant it even loader u can run the optical to you tv and run the audio thru that. But ibhave found it tends to mix up the directional sounds like that. So I stopped using that. Just the usb works great tho
What tv are you on, I had something mess me up before I cod
@@gordonejones83 I'm on a 58 in sharp roku tv. It's 4k and 120hz
You need to plug one end of the optical cable into your tv and the other end into the in port of your headset dac. That will fix your problem
There’s like 0 TV’s with optical audio ports. RIP to anyone with monitors, AKA me.
@@BrandonPwnsXD funny. I have a samsung 4k thats not even that new, and has an optical out
I have the same issue it sounds like trash
I don’t think you can get the same sound quality from the usb transmission that you can from optical. I think this is a bit understated when it comes to these headsets. USB audio is a major weak point! To regain that sound quality the on solution is to connect the optical connection to the television and set your television for optical out.
You don’t use it on the PC setting. It is supposed to be on the PS4 setting.
Turn off DTS it messes the sound
Audio balance on the ps5 put it in the middle problem solved.
All you need is the usb Cable
I just purchased turtle beach Stealth 600 ps5 and audio is quiet on every ps5 games when plugged into laptop it's fine it's loud I think Sony needs to iron the issue out
Dude the issue you're having is because you aren't using digital sound. If you set the audio set to output all audio over USB you will have shit sound.
You should be using the optical cable to enable digital surround sound. This will make it way louder and crisper. As the PS5 doesn't include an optical port just plug the optical cable from the DAC into the optical input on tour TV and set the TVs audio settings to output over optical. It will be a night and day difference. I think too many people connect these headsets and think they're shit because they're getting analogue USB quality sound and not digital. You also have to make sure you change the PS5 audio options to only output chat audio over USB not all audio
Do not put on PC mode on PlayStation
You need to put it to ps4 mode and it will be louder.
PS4 mode only works over optical audio cable
You clearly didn't try it. I'm currently running my headset off ps4 format as stated in steelseries website. It will fix your volume issue, it did with mine.
@@peterc7334I get no sound in ps4 mode
@@isarafan make sure you attach the mini usb to the box and the usb A into the ps5 port and then put the box to ps4. It should recognize now.
@@peterc7334 Thanks, I ended up doing a reset of the transmitter and was able to get audio from the PS4 input mode. It is still kind of quiet but certainly much better sounding than it did in PC mode.
hey every body all you have to do is buy (astro Hdmi adapter) and that’s it!!!
Thats limited to hdmi 2.0
@@neonrain9978 i know but is the best option people have rigth now about sound!!!
You can plug optical into your tv if you have one on your tv
@@ABPreach81 how about delay or not? if i use optical port output from TV.
No delay for me on the LGCX
Yo I’m pretty sure it’s because you can’t use the optical cable because the ps5 doesn’t have one. You have to buy another dumb converter to be able to use the optical cable. It’s stupid af
Uhm why are you using PC? Have been using it on ps4 settings as you should ;)
I realized that later but still the volume levels and 3D audio don't seem right
I would not recommend buying the hdmi splitter because your just wasting your money
Simple. Turn off 3d audio
you dont know what you are doing
