The PS5 does a decent job of automatically detecting what kind of sound setup you're using, but that doesn't always work the way it's supposed to. Like the Xbox Series X, it helps to know what PlayStation 5 settings you should and should not tweak, as well as how to tweak them. Whether you're using headphones, a soundbar, or a full-on surround system, we've got the tips and tricks you need to get great sound.

Soundbars are getting very good, and I enjoy headphones a lot (everyday) but for gaming and movies, I'm all about a legit surround system with full-size speakers. But is that a dying breed?
I don't think its a dying thing but i have a theory about companies saying surround sound headset..........but its a long typeout
Not at all, I think more people are buying them now that theaters are leaving. Also seeing alot more 2 channel, 2.1 and 3.1 setups.
@@Hogre0knifenut makes a good point but. Ive always been a home theater in a box person but i feel like my speakers should be hidden to better conceal my sound while gettin the full effect but i feel sound bars are just to replace the standard factory tv speakers whereas HTIAB was designed to better increase and enhance your sound quality and performance thats why dolby has the Atmos capable sss (surround sound system)
Hey Caleb, I’ve been into surround sound and home theater since before there was even a such thing as surround sound receivers. Back then we bought out board surround processors and hooked them up to stereo amps.
I remember back in the late 80s there were high end boutique audio shops all over the place where I live in NY. Since then all of them have closed and we have a few Best Buy stores that have magnolia showrooms but even that stuff isn’t as esoteric as the older stores. I have kept my system from basic old surround in the 80s to 5.1.4 atmos now. I do not know anybody in my life that has a home theater system. I’ve met other enthusiasts online but I don’t know anybody who has a home theater. Most people I know could care a less about sound. That being said I don’t think home theaters are going anywhere soon. I was 17 when I started this hobby and I’m 50 now. I’ve had laserdisc, supervhs, vhs, dvd, Blu-ray, and ultra 4K Blu-ray and I hope to see a couple more formats before I shuffle off this mortal coil.
@@AgonyTheClown so was i like in my PlayStation obe days since i saw tekken 2 then more so in my ps2 days when i had my first dvd player
The Adjust 3D Audio Profile has nothing to do with intensity. Each option is a HRTF profile that the user should select based on which one sounds best to them. It essentially adjusts the level of how high or low 3D audio sounds relative to ear level
I just picked up a new QN90B with a Bose 600 soundbar. Your tutorials are the best. You explain so many details of why things work they way they work. This is so helpful when applying settings to our specific rooms. Everyone views and plays in different settings with so many mixes of equipment. I can now feel confident my PS5 is setup the way I want it to be and I am not missing anything. The sound now is super.
I usually use a headphone (pulse 3D at the moment) but i love using a full speaker 5.1 at least. I love the immersion it provides and games and movies offers every time more quality as time goes by.
This was an incredibly helpful and useful video I was completely unaware of there being a sound-bar setting on the ps5 and a Dolby option I thought that was automatically done
Hey there I have a question
Since my soundbar is only 3.1.2 ch, is there any difference with using PCM and Bitstream? Because it will introduce lag if I use Bitstream Dolby or DTS on my Ps4
This is one of those videos that I didn't know I needed until I viewed it. I may not have the hardware yet ... *cough ... but now I know what I should be thinking about. Thank you, Caleb.
My pleasure!
Great work guys,videos like that are very helpfull for us,i use those settings now,also from your last video,thank you so much for this,great channel😁😁✌️✌️
After watching your video on the best video setting for the ps5 I dug around in the PS5 settings menu and did exactly what you were suggesting in this video.
Home theater surround speakers all day.
I'm so thankful your channel actually talks about speakers! Most gamer channels only seem to focus on headphones which can be good, but never as great as the full surround you get from speakers and bass you can feel.
Yup, this all day. I run a full 7.2.4 atmos setup with ceiling speakers. Once you have a setup like this, you can’t go back.
I also have a set of pulse explore earbuds that I use just for party chats. I just have one earbud in for chats. 👍🏼
Love these ps5 videos keep em coming
This is very helpful got a new 5.1 yesterday and still tweaking it..
Thanks been waiting for this👍🏻🙂
Full quality A/V receiver and speakers for sure! Any insight on brands and distributors I should consider for the best set up I can get for under $1,000?
Love these videos you guys continue to do. Great job!
Can you please do a video on 7.1 surround sound headphones, and how we would go about setting it up
No midroll ads!!! Thank you!!!!
Thanks for doing this, I appreciate you.
What is the best experience playing ps5 these days, headset with 3D audio or soundbar with subwoofer and two rear speakers for surround sound? And generally is it okay to keep the AV amplifier speaker position from PS5 setting at default? Or do we need to adjust it
I'm very happy with the sound on the Ps5, got it hooked to a Samsung Q950T Atmos soundbar and it sounds pretty awesome. During gaming i cannot tell if there's a difference to how it sounds to my Series X, however the 4k bluray player on the Ps5 destroys the one on the Series X, it's quicker, smoother, sharper and reveals more detail and last but not least it sounds fuller. Well done on this one Sony.
For me after a lot of test and errors, finally the perfect sound was to enable the AV enhancement and changing the sound type to DTS, I was playing FF16 and was having a hard time hearing stuff, and now everything sounds crystal clear with a sound bar and without one. Give it a try if you experience some lost audios in-game.
Excellent and really informative video❤️👍🔥💯
I have an LD CX1 hooked up to an Onkyo and use speakers. We enjoyed listening to you, as you confirmed what we did last night!
Bad info on choosing DD5.1 or DTS. LPCM is the correct choice as DD and DTS cause audio delay and are lossy.
Blu-ray audio playback is handled separately, so you get the best of both worlds.
Interesting, I've actually found that DTS gives no idea delay for me and pcm gives me a little bit. DD gives me alot of delay though. But I actually prefer using DTS now.
Yes this is the correct choise.
Yes. LPCM should be selected. For E-ARC connection to AVR, have to select "Passthrough" instead of "Auto" for it to output 7.1 PCM, at least for my PS4 Pro and LG C9.
THIS
Can agree, its been like that when I got my ps5 in December and it's still the same now. I upgraded to a new dolby atmos soundbar for the ps5 specifically and neither dolby nor dts provides synchronized audio. It's not a game thing either, the menu button presses already have this delay
Great info thank you
Thank god! This vid helped me out a lot. Bitstream sounds so much better then pcm. On my system anyway. PlayStation never replied to me.
Thanks for the video. I have a Samsung qn95a tv with a q800a soundbar and tv supports pass through and Dolby atmos toward the soundbar. Now that they’ve enabled 3d audio also for tv/soundbar but only with linear pcm, would you still suggest me to use Dolby (even if it is not Dolby atmos)? And between Dolby and DTS which is the best?
Btw, when I’m playing alone without friends I usually use a pair of Steelseries Arctis 7p headphones which sounds great and I think it is the most immersive way of playing on Ps5.
Thanks!
I think some of this info is incorrect. HRTF profiles aren't related to intensity, and there was some misinformation surrounding Linear PCM.
I was just able to get a ps5 and found this video. I use a 2.1 sound bar for media and I prefer a head set for gaming. My current headset is the Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless SE.
Thanks for the info in the video.
Should I leave my sound bar on stereo? Or put it into surround sound mode, or 3d surround sound mode?
For the Sonos Arc soundbar... should I use Dolby or PCM ?
Hi Caleb, and thanks for the good video. I have a TCL R635, PS5, Vizio M 5.1, and Arctis Steel series wireless. All good, however sometimes when I play the sound will stop in my headphones and go to the controller or TV soundbar, then after a minute or so, comes back to the headphones. Its maddening! LOL. I will double check all my settings again and cable routing. I believe its all the same as how you did it. If you or a fellow user have any insights they would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work and come on 1M!
If you’re using the usb 3.0 ports on the back for your steelseries usb transmitter, try moving it to the front usb 2.0 port instead. There are know issues with the steelseries headsets and 3.0 ports transmitting too much heat to them. I’ve move the receiver to the front 2.0 port and haven’t had the issue re-occur ever since.
I think the speaker position screen is futureproofing for when they add 3D audio to multi speaker systems. They said they were planning that.
I'm a receiver & speakers kind of gamer. Recently upgraded to a Dolby Atmos 5.1.2 with a massive subwoofer. Ceiling speakers are game changing.
PS5 have Dolby Atmos?
Since the PS5 updated the firmware and added an headphones equaliser the sound has improved greatly
Home Theater setup for gaming but later at night I switch to headphones.
I noticed a Vizio Elevate is shown during this video. Since that is technically a soundbar but has 5.1.4 channels, would you recommend choosing AV Amplifier over the soundbar option? It sounds like based on what you said that doesn’t really matter if you are choosing Bitstream Dolby or DTS audio, is that correct?
I used to have a pretty receiver system but I got the Sonos arc and a sub a few months ago and wow it’s great. It is pricy but it’s great. For headphones I use turtle beach 600 and I’ve had them for a little over a year and there decent.
cool video thanks
It was 👌like I was expected
Please make a video for best ps5 setting with the tcl 6 series 🙏
Do I have to do something special if I'm using powered speakers on my tv setup?
How do I get all sound through my headphones (chat & audio) and also keep the sound on my tv?
Extremely helpful I actually have a SSL and a 2.1 Soundsystem what would be the best settings to use? I don’t particularly want a 5.1 or a 7.1 sound system because I don’t have the space for it but I love my SmSl es400 DAC and Yamaha hs8 and sub.
Im pretty sure the 3d audio section is not for intensity. It is based on how your ears shape detect the audio’s 3d effect with the different options. Disappointed it wasn’t very touched on this video since it’s one of the playstation strengths in audio.
I have my sound bar connected to my TV. Should I change the audio output settings on my PS5 to Sound bar or keep it TV? What would be my ideal settings?
What settings do I choose if I have bookshelf speakers? Is it a simple plug in and play situation?
I have the Samsung HW 990B so it’s a 11.1.4 soundbar ! I choose soundbar or AV amplifier ? 😈
Great video, I also own a soundbar but do not have that option under HDMI device type. My soundbar is connected to my Samsung television. What I need to connect it directly to my PS5?
So I have a Vizio Elevate soundbar, but that's a full 5.1 surround sound system. The only way to get the speaker channel options on the PS5 is to select AV Amplifier as the speaker set up. Would you recommend using that option or the Soundbar option for soundbars that have surround speakers and a sub?
Jbl 9.1 Bar and Sony X900H w/ PS5
When I switch to bitstream, it sounds thin and weak
Pcm sounds more robust and full.
Why do you recommend bitstream > lpcm?
Thanks, I'm using AVR but just connect PS5 to TV and then TV to AVR with eArc. Turned to Dolby as you suggested.
What's the best PS5 setting for 2.1 Speakers.
PCM / Dolby / Linear?
if ps5 is connected to TV but using sound bar earc do i pick TV or sound bar on the ps5? and is there anyway to get atmos
What settings should i have, i don't get sound coming from the centre channel and i am on 7.1 surround sound?
I have a kick-ass BOSE soundbar with a separate wireless bass module. Sound is great for everything including gaming but the only way you can get 3D audio on the PS5 is with headsets which I don’t like to use. I’m hoping they come out with 3D support for other external audio devices soon.
Thanks
I have an LG CX which has Dolby Atmos TV speakers built-in, should I still enable PCM on the PS5?
@Digital Trends, can you help me? I would like to buy a good headphone, which one is perfect for dolby atmos, Netflix, movies on TV or PS5, gaming etc.... But i'm completely lost in those products... Can you suggest me a good headphone for this purpose??? Thank you for advance!
Sennheiser 600/560s
I'm having issues with my headphones,the same ones I used on the ps4 now sound muffled on the ps5, and when I play games like COD I can't really hear the person until it's to late and when I do hear them they always sound like they are coming from the same direction. Any way to fix this??
I don't think the game audio is natively in dolby or dts. If you select bitstream for game audio, the ps5 encodes the audio into dolby or DTS, so the audio is being compressed. For regular and 4k blurays, you can set the player to bitstream for dolby atmos, dts x, etc.
It's instant encoding in DD or DTS. Best experience in open world games, like Ghost of Tsushima
Linear PCM is the way to go with AV receiver, especially if you have 7.1 - for gaming.
SAMSUNG TVs CAN NOT PASS THROUGH LPCM AUDIO AS 5.1 OR 7.1 SURROUND. This is a critical failure as LPCM is the native audio format for games running on the PS5. You can choose Dolby in the PS5 settings but then you have to deal with compressed and delayed audio as the PS5 is converting LPCM to Dolby.
Why this is the case is beyond me. No other high end TV manufacturer has this issue. Please Samsung for the love of God release a firmware update fixing this issue. I want lossless surround sound audio when I play my PS5!
Hi yves here.
I have a for you question is it better to use dolby audio or dolby atmos on my ps5 when i have arc on my avr receiver and earc on my tv.
I want to have the best audio for watching series, gaming and listening music. What is your opinion, which is better. In want to use surround, but don’t know what to do.
Kind Regards yves
I have AV amplifier I guess. Sony ht s500rf. And I have LG nano cell with one arc HDMI. I still don't understand the connectivity setup you mentioned! Is there any chance you can help me?
I have 9.1 jbl yet on ps5 audio format I got the same options but it doesnt say bitstream just dolby or dts, also jbl message pop says pcm whnever I turn the game on! Any idea ?
if i have my ps5 connected direct to tv and my soundbar connected via hdmi (arc) what hdmi device sould i select TV or Soundbar for best sound.
For audio format, you want to leave it to Linear PCM no matter the type of soundbar or speaker setup you have when it comes to video games. However, when watching a blu ray there’s a separate settings menu in which you’d want to switch the format to bitstream. HDTVTest made a video explaining this.
It seems no one is on the same page with PCM vs bitstream. I'm always reading opposite recommendations. Confusing!
can you post a link homie? i wanna see this video.
Can you post a link to it.tried searching but no luck
This is true in theory, but it only really applies if you have an Atmos setup. If you just have a 2.1 or 5.1 (or even a standard 7.1) setup, the best you'd get from bitstream is Dolby TrueHD or the DTS equivalent and those are, theoretically, audibly identical to a PCM stream. On the other hand, sometimes TrueHD has dialog normalization applied, so some might find that better and others might find it worse (though it is objectively different from the studio master). Perhaps more importantly, TVs like the LG C9 (and probably C8 and CX) have an audible lag when using bitstream from an HDMI source, so your audio will be about a second behind your video when using Dolby in particular. In that sense, it's arguably worse to use bitstream if a) you have an LG OLED TV and b) you're not using Atmos or DTS:X anyway.
@@Nunya.Bidness I can’t remember the exact link or article but I do remember reading directly from a game dev that linear PCM was the best setting to use for video games as their audio passthrough works different compared to what you’d be getting out of say a 4K UHD Blu Ray movie. I’d say just try out both and see which one sounds better to you with my experience being Linear PCM being much louder and more clear in games
Hello. Maybe you can help me out pls: i have a denon x2700h conected to 5.1 speakers and the ps5 trough the receiver and the receiver to the tv and i'm experiencing some small delay in sound very small like 100ms but still visible. Can you please explain me why? the ps5 is set to linear pcm, the hdmi is set to bypass in the av ...and the video is flawless no delay perfect ..but the sound seems to be coming a little late . thank you in advance
I suggest changing hdmi device type from TV to soundbar. Even if you are only using tv built in speakers.
The TV setting might limit the range in some stuff
I’ve always had preferred a god headset and now i’m in love with Pulse 3D, they are so comfortable and have an amazing performance.
Pulse 3Ds are pretty bad sound quality wise. They are very convenient and cool how they integrate with the system but overall they are very meh. I compared them directly to other headsets and headphones I have and they sound the worst by far.

Hi can you help me ? I have a denon x1600h, ps5 and a philips 807. And i cannot bring it to use linear multichanel from the ps5 on the EARC ( ps5 connected to tvs earc port ), instead the max i can get is dolby+dsur - and the reciever wont switch to adapt to other audio sources like it would normally do ( reciever set to auto ) . I can only get multi ch from ps5 when i connect it to the reciever ( and lose 120 hz vrr ), or connect it to a ARC hdmi port ( and lose 120 hz vrr ). When i connect it to the EARC port, i get 120hz vrr - but only dolby, no multi chanel. I did go EVERY posible combination of settings and i just cant make it work : (
So.... If I have a vizio 5.1 sound bar system connected to my TV through arc CEC, should it be TV or sound bar? Which device is the output? the signal or audio?
But I do have another question for u…. I had everything set to dolby to at least get the 5.1 and I popped in bluray for Spider-Man into the spider verse which is DTS 5.1. But guess what? When the proper movie starts, there is ZERO sound unless fast forwarding at 1.5x. In order to get the audio to play I had to adjust the bluray option for audio from bitstream to linear pcm and then the DTS audio came out fine…. And that was with os5 audio format set to DTS…any clue why or if there’s a work around or something?
Corsair void pro headset support Dolby Atmos 7.1 surrounding sound in my pc via iCUE software. I like to purchased PS5. As PS5 do not support iCUE software, do PS5 will support Dolby Atmos 7.1 surrounding sound which Corsair void pro headset default providing?
I find I get little or no output from my sub when using LFE? It turns on doesn't seem to do anything? Maybe it's more subtle for games? On MGSV the sub doesn't even turn on? Is this normal?
Quick question I want to fix my sound because it gets too loud when there is shouting in last of us but when there is talking I can't hear anything
I have a brand new PS5 and a brand new Samsung curved monitor model U32R59. We're all set up and everything is working, the problem is in not being able to get audio to come through the speakers. If you plug wired headphones into the monitor you can hear all of the audio perfectly. However if you use a 3.5mm aux cable to connect monitor to speaker via an aux-in port, no audio is heard. I tried everything. Please help.
Hey there I have a question
Since my soundbar is only 3.1.2 ch, is there any difference with using PCM and Bitstream? Because it will introduce lag if I use Bitstream Dolby or DTS on my Ps4
Why is my old PS4 headset sounding muffled when playing games on the PS5?
Hi, I have a high-end av amp and I wanted to know about my ps5 for the games can you advise me pcm or blistream??? thank you
I use sony headphones for my ps5, but i am willing to buy that 3d pulse headphone if you can confirm me that they actually do better 3d sound,our i will end up with same sound?
I have the Bose 650 home theater. I have my PS5 connected directly to the Tv and the Bose connected to the Tv using the earc port. On the PS5 settings I selected output device Av amplifier and audio format Dolby. Is this ok?
For the LG cx sound settings… changing the output to PCM… should I disable Dolby atmos option as well since ps5 doesn’t support Dolby atmos?
would like to know which is the best sounding virtual surround sound dac/amp that take dd 5.1 via toslink and downmix it best to stereo headphones (something lik soundblasterx g6 or mixamp pro tr by astro, and others, i see conflicting opinions and reviews, i would like you take on it)
I'm using a Sonos Arc - should I use PCM or Dolby setting on my PS 5 please?
Can you connect your soundbar with bluetooth with the ps5 cause im using my pc monitor and i dont have optical outlet.
What if the TV speakers themselves are capable of Dolby sound...is it still preferable to use Linear?
how about Soundbars with rear speakers like the JBL Bar 9.1? if i select Soundbar it is only 2 channels. Can is select a AV for my 5.1 Setup with the soundbar?
I have a Sony A8H and just hooked up a ps3 to it, should I have RGB set to Full or Limited? I mainly just play COD mm2 occasionally on it
Hello. You've earned a sub and a like from me.
I was wandering if you could help. I have a soundbar connected to the TV via arc. I have my ps5 connected to my TV. Does the ps5 know I've got a soundbar on or does it think I'm playing through the TV speakers. I'm asking as there is an option for soundbar on the hdmi device type. But my ps5 isn't directly connected to my soundbar. Is it better to leave it in TV. Hope this made sense 🙂
Great video…u answered one of my questions which was should I set the hdmi device to soundbar (Vizio sb36514 5.14 Dolby Atmos soundbar system) or if I should set it to av receiver to do all the speaker set up. I have had in on soundbar and set to bitstream dolby and the 4k ultra he Blu-ray comes through great and the soundbar recognizes its dolby Atmos. But then last night I popped in a slightly older Blu-ray (Spider-Man into the spider verse) with DTS sound. And when I popped it in, the trailers played fine and the home music on the main menu of the Blu-ray played fine but then when I start the movie it self complete silence. UNTIL I changed via the BD eclipse menu FROM BITSTREAM TO LINEAR OVMc and THEN the sound worked and sounded great. But I don’t get why we would have to make that manual change based on the disc playing like what setting should it be on that will allow it to automatically recognize and put out whatever is playing at the time ??
Should I connect my ps5 to my new sony 7000 soundbar
Thank you!!! I have a Dolby Atmos soundbar and I kept reading that Linear was better. When set to Dolby, it sounded much, much better. I had a very noticeable lag. I solved that by turning the “Pass through” ON, on my tv. My games sound great.
I tried that, it seems like it worked! I kept going back and forth between pcm and Dolby after setting the “ pass through “. Just to see if I noticed lag. I can’t even find the lag anymore and Dolby does sound better. 🤘🤘
Thank you for the tips, after couple years only just come to this realisation with a sound bar - god damn!
Could it be that the soundbar treats passed through LPCM and Dolby with different presets (Standard, Music, Game, etc...) and that's where the difference that you hear is coming from?
@DavidGasperoni No, its not like a tv with different pre sets.
i have literally scoured the internet for hours upon hours and can not for the life of me get a solid answer. If you use virtual surround sound such as Dolby atoms, windows sonic, Astro mix amp exc. in the in game menu under audio settings what option should you use? stereo headphones or surround sound? I know you should never double up on surround sound effects it will make the audio sound like crap. another question does the in game audio surround sound option count as an effect or is just controlling the dynamic ranges/EQ's?
Need help got a ps5 slim sound worked fine up until about a month ago ps5 hooked up to tv and I got a vizio m-series 5.1 and I'm using eARc form the to soundbar and the sound keeps cutting in and out I tried everything please help
i connect my ps5 to my LG C9, then transfer sound via earc, and select the dolby mode on my ps5, unfortunately these is a very clear delay of the sound, so i think the lpcm will be the better idea?
If I'm using Homepods via eARC, should I have it selected to soundbar?
What if I connect my Soundsystem with an optical cable to my TV And then connect a 3.5mm headphone to the Soundsystem? That is my setup. Would the sound be better than through the controller? For some reason I doubt that wireless controller would bring as good quality as a Soundsystem connected via optical cable but I can't really hear any difference. And when I activate Dolby or DTS as audio format I for some reason get a significant lag
I have a Samsung tu8000, it supports Dolby digital plus. Should I turn on Dolby on the ps5?
What's The Best Audio Format For 7.1 Headseat Gaming On PS5?
Ok so help me out here. I have a 5.1 home theater system. What's the best option for me to use with my ps5. Thanks
