- Don't get this new PS5 upgrade yet.. I tested the new Playstation 5 audio settings trick & it fixes everything! Here's the truth, you don't need a upgraded HDMI splitter for PS5. This is the secret to use your pro gaming headset like Astro A50 & A40 on Playstation 5 without this extra adapter. I show you step-by-step the BEST settings.. Just like the PS4 you can use the special digital audio cable on PS5! .. First step, connect your headset to the Digital Audio port on your gaming TV, make sure the sound MixAmp is connected with USB to the PS5, then go to your Sound Settings & use these EXACT settings. Everything works perfectly!
Here's the PS5 adapter upgrade I mentioned in this video.. You can purchase from Amazon using the link below if your TV or Gaming Monitor for PS5 does not have a Digital Audio Port:

The way he gets right into what he wants to say is pretty great. No bullshit intro. No bullshit chapters to scroll through. Just no bullshit.
The problem I had with this astro adapter, was if ever I was watching an app say RUclips, twitch, sky TV, 99% of the time when I closed it, it shut the base station off, and audio no longer worked. So I just plugged it in to the TV about a year ago and never had that issue again.
I am having the exact same problem but with my optical cord plugged into my TV. I constantly have to unplug the BaseStation and plug it back in from the power source to reboot it. This happens even when I close a game and re-open a new game. If I turn my headset on while I am in a game and turn it off before I exit the game I do not have this problem. I just sometimes forget to turn it off before I close the game out. This is getting weird.
@@mxbigd17 that sucks, haven't run in to that problem yet via tv
Lol i never ever had that problem happen not even once
@@mrnice-guy1462 good for you
yea thanks GENIUS !! Most people are using Monitors which dont have Optical connection in the back hence why the audio extractor is needed !
Yupp got a Sony 4k Display with an optical output. Also, have the Astro A40 gen 4 with the latest mix amp. Works awesome. But, in the ps5 settings I have mine on all audio not chat audio and it works fine. Way better than any other connection with the Astro headset and mix amp.
Why??? The biggest difference is that HDMI can pass higher-resolution audio, including the formats found on streaming services such as Dolby Atmos and DTS HD Master Audio. These formats can't be transmitted across optical. Why do people use optical still?
@@pennywisethedancingclown7139 Because Optical is useful and some people prefers Optical over HDMI
Does it work over 4k 120hz?
That adapter only supports 1080p 120hz its useless if u have 4k 120hz if u can achieve that over optical its way better
@@bummetalhead My question is why though? What makes it useful? Having a fiberglass, fragile cord plugged into your headphones? Wireless / Blutooth is capable of the same quality as optical, except there is no cord lol.
Edit: I guess if someone wants to use a certain pair of headphones I suppose.
One thing I think Sony should have included on the PS5 . I hate having rely on HDMI for 7:1 sound
It would have been a nice inclusion to have an optical port directly on the PS5 for setups like mine with a GoXLR (i mean whats the harm in just throwing it on there when they designed the console)
The fact is Optical TOSLINK is technology from the 80’s and only supports Stereo sound Uncompressed, however with Compression it will do Dolby/DTS 5.1 (DVD disc quality audio) but nothing better. Unfortunately HDMI is the current and likely future method handling latest audio standards.
@@KleskReaver I don’t mind 5:1 for gaming . The optical port would have been used if it had one . Especially for my projector setup
I've used both headsets for a very long time but the Pulse 3D headset is really good. I prefer that over my A50s for my PS5. Sounds much better in my opinion. Pulse is easier to connect and setup as well. I wasted my money thinking I was upgrading to Astros just because they were way more expensive.
My old headset used an optical cable for surround sound, so I bought a new headset last week now I've upgraded to PS5. Nearly went for the Pulse 3D as I heard they were pretty solid, but I opted for the Razer Kaira Pro because I wanted something I could connect to my tablet and phone for watching movies in bed too, and so far they have been amazing. The haptics were a nice surprise too.
@@omnipotentpenguin I haven't tried that headset. I bet it's good though. I bought the Astros A50s hoping to hear footsteps and directional audio better but the Pulse 3D is better to me.
Same. Plus the Astro sucks in terms of cable management. Thinking about going the inzone h7s
@@bigOnion4 lol yeah cable management sucks with the Astros! I've thought about the Inzone headset too. I'm hoping it's worth the price.
Astro a50’s was great at ps4 level and pc for me. The ability to change levels in software to protect my hearing was a bonus. I wish we would be able to use an Audio interface to connect headphones, if a mic can be added to make it work as a headset.
Problem with this setup: If you have a PS5 and PC connected to your Astro A50 and you built the setup like this. Your TV always gives audio to your Astro box. When you want to play on PC it will not give you PC sound because it detects input on the spdif port. So you need a spdif switcher in between. Easier to use the spdif splitter. Another thing, if you want to get your PS5 to your friends and play on a pc screen (because it easier to carry that around than your TV). You still need the splitter.
How do you have it set up for both PC and Ps5 i just ordered the A50
@@NotaLoka777 hopefully you figured it out as one can be the USB or Dolby port (if you're motherboard supports this) and the other USB (if not used) or the PS5 splitter that works as what he showed was getting direct audio with blocks VC and is why that is needed which again that clown John forgets to mention that doing that blocks VC in all games
@@xxdesertstorm yea i ended up finding a different way where i had the dobly port to the PC and had the usb to a splitter to the Ps5 and to the power to constantly be on so i wouldn’t have to have the Ps5 or PC on to charge the headset
Thank you for the information, i was about to buy an adapter for my ps5 but luckily i watched ur video first
I don’t have a PS5 but I like watching your tips & tricks of PS5 videos 😍😍
There are more ps5 coming as holidays get closer you have to go to the stores weekly and ask electronic managers if they get them .I seen more xbox x in stores and switch oleds.
I don't know why people complain so much nowadays but i have these astros with the mixamp and adapter and they sound amazing. The 3d audio doesn't matter cause they have dolby. Honestly if you prefer the crappy pulse over the astros you definitely haven't used good headsets.
Agreed! my PS5 came with the Pulse in the bundle, tried them, took them back and swapped for PS+ voucher instead, my Astros kill the Pulse.
This worked on Xbox series x as well without any hassle just plug into the back of my tv and Xbox and done everything worked fine
Just update the firmware and plug the USB into the XSX and success!
Yeah I wish ps5 came with spdif out. Got old Yamaha 5.1 system that still works great.
“Astro eh 40”
*THE MULTIVERSE IS EXPANDING!*
Meanwhile, me still uses the old earphones from the iphone 6. Yep still working. I don't even know why I'm watching this lol. Love the video!
John!! Please address the use of PS5 controllers on the PS5 but playing ps4 games like black ops 4. The delay is UNBEARABLE
You can use any headphone and the ps5 will still support 3D audio which is identical to spatial audio except for head tracking ofc
I don’t think this is correct. As the way that you show in the video appears to completely bypass the optical cable. Making you use the USB on the mix amp only. Meaning the optical cable isn’t actually doing anything. You’re also getting inferior sound as you are using the voice channel which doesn’t have as high of bitrate. Unless I’m missing something.
My astro splitter overheated and burnt out today and you just saved me a trip to best buy😂 thank you so much🤞🏻❤️
I literally just bought a PS5(For retail). Guess I finally felt it was worth it,,, somewhat. So the Only thing Ive done is 980 Pro 1TB SSD and Dark Plates 2.0 in black with red lights. Thats as far as I'll ever go on the console. But also got another controller and a PowerA Charging Station. Now its done over an complete
I've been doing this for years with steel series on a PS4😁
Thank you for updating us. I have the splitter and I was always worried that the heat it produced could be a problem.
I had no idea ps5 didn't have a digital audio port. Good to know ill need an adapter for my bose tv speaker. 🙄
I'll just plug my headphones into my controller.
That's what I wanted to do, but A50 Gen4 doesn't have a 3.5 jack in em lol
@@svinozillashowsure astro gen 4 got it! I put mine w 3,5mm in my Monitor!
put the USB into PS5 and the 3,5 into your Monitor (both other sides in station! )
Optical I put in my tv and usb to my ps5
Why 5.1 and not 7.1? And what is the best Dolby audio or Dolby atmos
Keep your sounds setting on linear pcm.
I went with one of the adapters to get optical audio out to my AVR. The issue with using the TV as a passthrough is that it introduces major audio delay. To the point that I would only play my PS5 using USB wireless headphones. But the adapter cleared that issue right up now I'm able to send audio to my AVR with no audio delay
I know this is old but yeah, I believe you are correct.
While it works using the optical port of TV I also get audio delay, I have sync slider option on TV setting but doesnt seem to help.
So you sure using an audio extractor instead there is no audio delay?
Im using TB Stealth 700 gen 1 and the optical goes into its usb receiver.
Recently I just switched to all audio for when using the headset and used the 3D audio setting of the PS5 and while it sounds fine Im sure true surround is better and more accurate for those FPS games so would like go back to using the optical option.
Rather than get the astro adapter I might opt for a cheaper adapter.
Ive seen em for sale on ebay that are hdmi 2.0 4K 60hz HDR10 compatible.
Might try one of those.
Dang so if you don’t have the digital audio on your monitor you’re screwed? :((
Why didnt you mention the loss of the 3D audio? I personally had to order a Schiit Hel 2E because it is one of the only options for a DAC\AMP with good quuality that retains the 3D audio function. And it connects to USB on the ps5. Do a video on that! :D
Of you want 3d audi, nist put the sound settings from chat audio to all audio amd turn the digital dolby of on the mixamp, works perfect.
So can I replace the Astro adapter with the Schiit Hel 2E and get 4k 120hz on my PS5?
you sound silly. If you want 3d audio this entire video is pointless as you get it by just pluggin into the controller. The entire point of people wanting an optical cable is to get surround sound that is different from 3d audio. That is the purpose of needing the adapter. If you just want 3d audio use the ps5 as it comes default. lol plug into the controller and then set in the settings 3d audio for headphones and turn it on. Done.
You do know that the power provided to the headphones by the controller is VERY limiting to the quality of the sound and the maximum volume, right? You can NEVER get as high and crisp sound with just the power provided by the controller. I tried it. Power is a limiting factor when dealing with quality in high volume. Look it up ;)
@@guitarman0365
I don’t have this adapter or the Astro headset either but I do have the PlayStation headset tho
My monitor doesnt have a digital audio input ....wow im so pissed right now.
It’s similar to my setup on Xbox series x but I set the mixamp to pc mode so I set the hdmi out to Dolby digital and it sounds great 👍

If you don’t have a digital audio port in your monitor can you use an adapter?
I usually use my Sony xm2 headphones plugged into the controller. I also have some wireless artic 9 (I think they’re called that) for when I don’t want to use wires I’ll probably get the new ps5 noise cancelling headset
While it works using the optical port of TV I get audio delay, I have sync slider option on TV setting but doesnt seem to help.
From another comment here it seems using an audio extractor instead there is no audio delay.

I think people are highly underrating the actual Sony official headset it actually offers a very solid experience and for the price it actually makes them even more impressive… I have a expensive headset also but that was because I saw a couple of video reviews of pulse 3D’s and they were saying they were just ok but they looked great while they were raving about headsets that were $250 and up.. I’m not saying That some of the higher end headsets aren’t good that would be a lie but the pulse 3D’s really offers a really good experience! The same for the Xbox official headsets those are really good also and with 1 or 2 small audio tweaks in the audio settings you would think you got on studio grade headsets!!!! Whoever reads this trust me! Sony and Microsoft official headsets gives you a great sound experience….
Really, he's not far behind an astro a40. the biggest problem for me is just comfort. the pulse 3d are very uncomfortable in a few minutes playing, since the astros are the marvel of comfort. That's why I sold my pulse 3d and kept my astro a40. but in terms of audio quality, pulse 3d is incredibly good!
I am on my 2nd pair of ps5 pulse. The ear muffs are garbage and break within 5 to 6 months as did my first pair. You have to be careful taking them off your ear because sliding them off gradually tears the material from the headphones. They are cheaply made. Get the best headsets which Sony recently bought out. Audeze Maxwell. The absolute best headphones on the market. If you are going to spend $300 on a headset go for Audeze wireless. 80 hours battery life and the best sound on the market hands down. I love astro but no optical port on the ps5 was a huge mistake by Sony. Thereby making the amp useless.
3d pulse audio is great not going to lie but what's the point of buying them if they don't last long. Astros are very comfortable, excellent sound and extremely durable. They can last you for years. My og astro a40 is 10 years old.
there is no reason to get them because the 3d audio works with most other headphones too. Sony did not although maybe at first to get in on the market at the beginning lock the feature behind their own products exclusively. So you should buy the headphones you actually prefer and most prefer something better comfort and sturdier than the pulse and will still get the effect of sound. Same happened with the controllers touch pad. For a while at least you could't get it on third party controllers only the dualsense but now that is changing as i now have a pro controller with a working touchpad which you couldnt for years. The same was with the 3d. for a little bit you needed the pulse but that is not the case for awhile and no longer gives anyone a reason to take the pulse seriously. Eventually maybe the haptic system will have to come out too and the dualsense itself will no longer be nessessary if you want the full experience in game. But for now that is the last remaining feature exclusive to playstation tech.
Anyone knows why the PS4 and the PS4 games are crashing these days? This happened to me 3 times. Is it because I play a lot or is it because I have had it for 2 years? This used to happened to me in my old PS4 and it stopped working, so I had to buy a new one. Now, the same issue is happening. If anyone knows the reason please tell me.
I think the problem with your method is that the headphones will process the sound through the usb and bypass the optical cable. I have my setup with “HDMI” as the output, enable the 3D sound for home theater and I am able to get surround sound with better sound quality.
I have run Astro a50’s for years. nothing but issues with the ps5. Sadly I have moved after from Astro this generation of console.
@John Glasscock you’ve obviously used the Astro HDMI adapter question does it cause any INPUT DELAY or RESPONSE TIME issues when you used it with your PS5?
Here I thought I had it done correctly before watching video but I see those last settings are definitely a plus
I was able to get sound but definitely didn’t have it optimized like this. Thanks so much!!
Audio over glass is the way! It just makes sense. 🔊 Loud and Clear 😅
I figured that out by just seeing if it would work, you can also use them to watch TV as well setup this way.
My problem is kinda fucked up I have Astro a50 gen 3 Xbox edition and I want to use it with ps5 when I plug it it works I can hear the game from the headset but when my friends talk there sound comes from the controller 😂 plus on my console it don’t show the Astro is plugged in even that it’s working ufff
thanks man that works i can now send my audio from my ps5 directly to my capture card
I bought a 4K adapter from amazon for around £8/$12, works amazing.
Or if you have a 3.5 jack on your monitor, just use an analog to digital audio converter.
Isn’t that like the same as using the Astro adapter? I have 3.5 Jack on my monitor but no optical so was just curious cause I’m using Astro adapter. Can’t you just use optical to 3.5 cable then without an adapter?
The Astro adapter isn't HDMI 2.1 so you loose 4k 120 and full 10 bit chroma 4:4:4.
Thanks 💯👍
What about if i have a sound bar?
I thought I was going to break my tv plugging in the optical cable 😮 Holyy
Not all TVs can pass 5.1, and don't report Dolby compatibility.
Hes good fast like a full robot voice talking
ill take that into account when I manage to get a ps5
Hey John! I just upgraded my playstation subscription and I am super happy with the new games but the only problem is that I don't have enough storage do you know any good\cheap hard drives ?
Hard drives aren't cheap memory cost $$ can't afford it deleted game you have to put new one's on or go back to ps4.
Buy an external hdd they are cheap on walmart and move the games
@@luisw3406 wow great advice
I think the cheapest hard drives cost around $40, more or less. ☺️ Or you could do what I'm trying to do, put the ps4 on top of the ps5 and hope they share storage data. ☺️
@Win32Application - System File Hell yeah Dutch!
My PlayStation 4 had never network problems and I have an good wifi rooter too. Since I got the ps5 and I play online games, I have an bad connection, but downloads are still going fast. How do I fix this problem?
Astro right now🤨🤨
I have my soundboard connected to my optical option so i guess ill keep my astro block in place 👍🏼
No hdmi 2.1 pass through is a no for me.
This has been out since the ps5 was released who didn't already know this?
If my monitor had an optical out, i wouldn't even think of getting an adapter lol what
The problem with doing this is that you lose all 3D audio capabilities. It makes it incredibly hard to locate where people are around you in games.
Not with astro, may on some others.
Astros I own have 5.1 output and is far better than Sonys 3D audio, imo anyway :)
@@Doyle69 yes on Astro. I’ve had the A50s since the original release. Been using this method on my ps5 since I got it. And there’s 0 3D audio. I even tried completely in hooking everything and re doing it exactly as the video stats. No 3D audio.

How is this adapter supposed to work if you have a soundbar connected to your TV with an optical cable?
I have a Sound BlasterX G6 DAC that I connect my headphones to my TV through optical with, but normally switch to USB directly connected to my PS5 when I'm gaming. Does that mean I could actually route the sound through my TV like I'm normally doing and still have all of the normal sound features for PS5 by doing this for my setup? I can use it with optical audio just fine, but the sound quality is clearly different and the chat audio didn't seem to work.
I would suggest to slow down on your communication
Sure, thats ideal if all we ever do is play games on our tv’s, but switching audio back & forth each time is a pita. So……. Nah im good
The PS5 has built in Tempest 3D audio. The method you're showing here basically disables that. I have A50s that I plug in with just the USB, they sound great. This method you're showing I really don't care for
It’s better than the Tempest 3D audio.
@@idocallouts7393 not imo. I've tried both and I like the Tempest better
@@Silent_Gold74 depends on the headsets I guess. I did enjoy the steel series 7p with the tempest 3D audio but the Astros are much fuller and warmer. Clarity is superb with Dolby 7.1 for me.

Thanks for video Bro, amazing .❤️
I just got a PlayStation 5 and it love it so much
I did it just then, but cant change to AV receiver. Wont get sound no matter what I try. Left it on TV and everything works flawlessly.
how about steelseries arctis pro wireless dac will it works ？
I have this exact issue and can't overly rectify it. Just upgraded to the ViewSonic VX2882 4k-JP. Can't get any adapters into NZ without massive delays nor costs. The Astro adapter is useless to me.
Can you Bluetooth it to sound bar or speakers ?
Hey John. What if someone has an adapter and wants to use that with their GoXLR.? 🤷♂️
I do not recommend it because this device will remove the 2.1 option from HDMI, leaving the quality low for those who use new televisions.
This always worked, but since today i have no more sound from PS5 on the or headset, but chat works. If i set it back to all audio i do have sound on the headset but not from tv. Very weird
I just wanna use headphones/mic directly wired bc I my remote keep cutting out
I just got Astro a40tr with mixamp tr and it’s Xbox/PC but I have PS5. I have the hdmi adapter but when I play it won’t let me talk in game chat
Bro you are genious, thank you so much!!! 🙂👍🏻
I use the adapter for my PC so my streamlabs OBS can pick up party audio for my streams, I have issues here and there but the adapter can be a life saver for streamers
are you using A40s or A50s? I just have two separate inputs on my PC one for game one for voice. I route discord to voice...then when I'm in game settings like in COD I change in game voice to the voice channel and make sure my default audio out is always set to Astro Game.
@@YouBetterCallSaul A40s but I also have a blue yeti mic so the audio out for me is set to the Yeti so the stream hears me along with my discord loud and clear i removed my A40 microphone
Same but I route my yeti audio through Nvidia Broadcast but I have the A50s which are wireless which creates more channels apparently
@@YouBetterCallSaul Ahh I see, either way the adapter is a great thing to have regardless of your setup.
Rip those who use monitor and that 95% don’t come with digital audio connection
Monitor user here...
No clue why the fuck sony took out the digital audio port. I had a Arctis PRO GameDAC with a audio that was beyond any headset ive used. On PS5... total garbage compared with the PS4.
PS5 and any kind of older standard digital audio is pain in the a$$… PS3 and PS4 did it flawlessly and with PS5 it’s a struggle and requires a lot of patience… and once you are able to play games in 5.1 (in most cases forget about DTS, it’s not going to work) then don’t forget to make changes in BluRay player as it has it’s own settings not related to system and by default it will output pcm 2.0…
Big Jimmy Neutron brained boy here 👍 thx
I have the astro a50’s and I only use the adapter when I stream with the capture card.
Hey John, sometime your videos are confusing when you explain things, like this one. you put two conflicting information without even considering the delivery of the advice. Which device should I connect the Optical to? the TV or Astro A50?
You're connection the optical out from them TV to the optical in on the mix amp
@@casaldana Thank, much appreciate it.
Only recommend buying the adapter if you use a monitor that does not have digital optical port out.
Other than that is is a good tool to have around if you have a stereo receiver.
A scenario this is good to use in if you have an 2.1 dac / amp on a desk connect to passive speakers on your desk.
Which as long have you have decent speakers the audio quality is night an day. You’ll never want to go back to gaming headphones #audiophile
Ok boomer.
I had a 3.5 mm audio jack on my monitor but no optical. I have a Astro a40 and want to use it without the Astro adapter so is there anyways to use this way
Hi John, normally fortnite (PS5) runs on 4k at 60fps but when you have a monitor that can cope with 120fps then fortnite has a performance setting that lets you play at 120fps but it reduces the resolution to 1440p.
My question is, if I bought this Astro adapter, and plugged in the optical from my mix amp, would I still be able to keep these settings as 120fps and 1440p and now be able to hear with the true optical quality sound as I used to hear when I played on ps4 before.
Im wondering to, i got a 4k 144hz monitor without optical, and what ive heard is that u neet a hdmi 2.1 extractor (not on the market yet, as far as i know) to play 4k 120hz and have the optical audio, and i looked at this astro extractor and it has hdmi 2.0b
Can someone verifie?
Sorry for my english
You will not be able to play 4k , 120hz with Astro adapter. I'm having Astro a40 with mixamp and Odyssey G7 monitor.
When everything is plugged, I could only play 1080p /120hz because of Astro adapter incompatibility to support 4k.
But I've found the solution, instead Astro adapter, I've bought dac optical to USB audio adapter and connected monitor straight to ps5.
Now I can play 4k, 120hz and enjoy 3d sound 😊
Btw, with this setup, mixamp needs to be set to PC, not PS MODE
