Hey I had a question about the PS4 Gold Headset. Starting today I can hear audio, but my microphone doesn't seem to be working. Tried everything I could, then got the companion app and did the reset. The steps were:

plug in adapter
plug in headset
turn on headset
restore from the app

However at the end it said turn off headset and then on again, and wait for the red light to stop blinking (the one right next to the 2-1-off switch). But this light never blinked and it's still not working. Any ideas?

Thanks

edit: I've also tried the reset where you put the pin into the wireless adapter, then hold MUTE+VSS while turning the headset on, but you are supposed to hear a beeping noise when you do that and I don't.

I mean design is important, at least to some people. I got a base model MBA from like 2018 for $800 new because of an education discount, and having something I actually like looking at and interacting with is worth the higher price to me.

Hi, I was thinking about just using my PS4 (and PS5 if I get it) with my computer monitor. I will be getting a bluetooth receiver and floor speakers soon for streaming music and vinyl purposes - is there a way to route the PS4 audio to these speakers? I read that I may need a separate dongle?

Also do we know if the PS5 will support bluetooth audio?

thanks

I don't think there's a way to get your bluetooth receiver to connect to "PS4 audio" at all. You'll have to do something silly like plug a 3.5mm jack to bluetooth thing into your ps4 controller that then connects to the bluetooth receiver.

Like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bluetooth-Transmitter-Receiver-Hands-free-Mpow/dp/B01KZR6S6W

But tbh the audio quality will suffer quite a bit.

okay thank you

my computer monitor does have speakers but obviously they aren't that great. or i could just use my ps4 gold headset.

I mainly just keep the ps4 sound low (just to hear audio cues, sound effects, etc.) and listen to music, so it's not a huge deal.

I have a similar setup (Computor monitor + wired speakers though)

there are adapters to convert optical audio out to RCA or 3.5:
https://www.amazon.com/PROZOR-Digital-Converter-Optical-Toslink/dp/B00KNNSKV0

Maybe your new receiver has one of those inputs?

The speakers and receivers will be on the other side of the room.

Hi I need help, I took out my ps4 after not using it for several months. It told me I needed to download the 5/27/20 update file and put in a folder named UPDATE. See screenshot below - this is what I have. It is not recognizing it when plugged in.

I then tried starting the ps4 in safe mode and doing update using internet, plugged in a lan cable, and it downloaded the update. It then restarted and installed the update. It then restarted again and sent me back to the "connect a usb storage device" menu for some reason.

What should I do next? I'm fine with whatever gets this thing working, as long as I don't lose any of my destiny 2 stuff. thanks.

edit poo poo I need another folder named PS4 to on the top level, sorry let me try that

preferably something that looks nice.. maybe I shouldn't have said DIY hah

I could also just put it right on the floor, I assume that's fine as long as I have a bit of space behind it for airflow. Probably best until I decide if I'll upgrade to a PS5 on release.

Does anyone here have the Samsung TU7000 or TU8000? I'm looking to get a new budget gaming tv and these are both recommended for that.

are there any features that will be new to the PS5 that I would want to look for in terms of tv features? The one thing I'm noticing is 120 vs. 60 hz refresh rate. These two are 60.

what do you think the demon's souls price should be? any different than a new game?

I saw something about a ps5 wall mount, definitely seems like a good idea given how huge it is - then you can hide it behind the tv.

The $70 price doesn't bother me since for all the work that goes into them, some of these titles should be >100 at launch. Plus considering how much entertainment you get out of them even 100 is a steal!

anyone have an issue with the ps4 gold headset where the mic works but no audio? I think I had this once before, and I went through the whole process of resetting it through the app, and then doing the thing with the dongle where you put the pin in the side, then hold mute+VSS and turn the headset on while doing so. However this time the headset still displays a red light instead of blue - do I have to fully charge it first?

Also I tried just plugging the headset into my computer, and I couldn't hear any audio - does this mean the issue is prob with the headset audio drivers themselves, or perhaps the cable connecting it?

I know it’s not much help but that same thing randomly happened with my platinums and as far as I can tell :rip:

Like, they would turn on, connect, everything looked like it was in working order, mic worked, but no audio would come out of them unless I hard wired the headphones with a cord. I tried every fix under the sun and absolutely nothing got them working again.

So, good luck and if you figure it out please let me know what you did, because mine are still sitting in a drawer. :v:

in all fairness I may have threw them after getting mad at something just prior to this :p

but as I said, I had the same issue once before, and got them working again.

I've always used them connected to my controller - never wirelessly just because i never felt the need to. I would assume that once I plugged them in to my computer or phone, I'd be able to hear audio, but I don't...

Is it weird that the mic works but not the speakers?

actionjackson
Jan 12, 2003

I'm trying to figure out what's going on with my ps4. When I'm done playing I always shut it off. But often when I turn it on again, either using the ps button on my controller or the power button on the console, the bright blue light will come on, but then switch into that purple-white light - however nothing comes up on my display. I have to hold the power button down to turn it off, and then repeat. Usually this time, I will get safe mode and the "the ps4 was not shut down properly" message. After that it works fine.

While the PS is running, try unplugging the relevant HDMI cable from the TV, then plugging it back in. If it's run through a switch or something first, see if bypassing it fixes it. It could be a bad cable or socket on the TV

will do thank you
