An incredible channel who puts his subs first rather than making a 10 minute video to explain something so minor to make money. Thank you and Merry Christmas :)

It’s funny, I’ve always wanted to know this and finally someone talks about it
Question why do you need to plug in an optical from console to headphones ? Why not just the TV ?
@@ricksigales3833 Console has an output of audio. The tv does too but directly from the console is easy and that way you know you can switch audio output to HDMI if you wanted to use your tv via the console settings.
Dudeee I had no idea the audio output setting was something I needed to do thank you so much
I just want to let people know for my own experience that doing the TV hookup with the audio out set to Raw and using Dolby digital home theater in the sound settings on the PS5 also works for delivering Dolby digital to your surround sound unit I'm getting clear 5.1 surround.
The adapter only supports HDMI 2.0 and not 2.1 thus capping the PS5 at 60 hz. Once I removed the adapter I was able to achieve 4k 120hz. I wish they'd speak more on this in all of the UA-cam reviews on this product
He said that on the video
Does it have hdr?
I upgraded my monitor and now I am trying to find a better option for sound. The Astro adapter is only able to support 4K/60hz or 1080/120hz, it will not support 1440p/120hz or 4K/120hz. Which has caused an issue for me as I upgraded my monitor to play at 120hz at 1440p… so now what? There is only 1-2 hdmi 2.1 adapters out there and they cost $120-$130, or I buy a usb optical Dac converter but won’t be able to use doubly 5.1 or 7.1… pretty much it screws my audio performance to have a better visual display. And the only way around it costs north of $100 after spending $500 on a PS5, $300 on a headset and amp, and $500 on a new monitor, that’s the choice you are left with… it sucks and Sony/Astro need to design their products to be More compatible moving forward. This is mostly on Sony for not including a optical port which is the best way to relay sound…. It just doesn’t make sense.
@@JohnnyJaguar66 Yeah they leave that out on purpose so that they can add it to the Ps5 pro and give people who already own a ps5 a reason to switch over... Capitalism sucks sometimes
@@nelly112nels either that or to push their headset line.
Great video and tip. If you are a streamer or simply enjoy recording your mic along with the game's audio (including chat), then the Elgato recording device will mix the audio together for you. However, the audio recording will be analog, not digital. There is no way to mix audio sources for an all-digital output.
John, would you recommend to use any third-party hdmi > optical convertor? I plan to use it with my SoundBlasterX G5 & Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro. I wonder would it still be able to run 120hz..
In my case, I connected the optical audio from the TV to the home theater when playing with both PS3/PS4. It works just fine but I think that it might be a little bit of delay
Good tips! The things that bug me about the PS5 right now are the lack of Dolby Atmos support, no VRR, and the expansion SSD slot isn't able to be utilized. Luckily the last two are temporary. Some people are annoyed with the lack of Dolby Vision support, but that's really subjective. While DV is superior to HDR10 and HDR10+, the differences aren't huge.
I agree the DV is inferior to other versions.How to fix the PS5 multi channel audio issue with streaming apps?Choose "tv speakers,3d audio".Was driving me NUTS
So.. You can buy speakers, by just hooking it up to your controller? Why need an hdmi adapter then?
@@Teah8cbdude I never tried to plug speakers into the controller lol you'd only be able to use aux computer speakers anyway. HDMI is from the console itself to have picture...I don't know what you really mean by HDMI adapter?
@@varanidguy I mean I read there is an adapter for Bluetooth like a dongle or a usb to aux adapter.

A moment of honesty here. I've had the PS4 for nearly 4 years now. I've discovered your UA-cam channel recently through its PS4 tricks/& tips videos. & Most of them I didn't even know lol.

hi aunt
I connect my headphones to the optical out from my bravia TV so headphones can listen to any hdmi input. Also TV supports sound output to both optical and built-in speakers simultaneously, so I can use the built-in speakers just by turning up the tv volume and not having to disconnect the headphones. I just had to get a $15 optical to analog stereo adapter.
This video is helping me out with my ps5 that I dont even have, ppreciate it bro 💯
Really hate that both Sony and Microsoft screwed this up.
They didn't screw up. They are looking towards the future and to also probably cut costs. This was bound to happen eventually. Things become obsolete but thankfully people come out with adapters like these.
They are phasing it out.
Lol, no. Optical ports are substandard for audio. I'm not sure that they can even support Dolby True Audio or DTS Master Audio formats. So go on and explain how they screwed up by not dragging ancient subpar audio ports into the future. Sony is literally part of the team who created that connection standard and they won't offer it on their fresh new device is a signal, that crap is dead.
@@evilformerlys4704 Do you have any idea how many headsets use, many solely restricted to, optical. If I spend 300 dollars on a headset, it should be supported. I shouldn't have to buy an adapter, which currently doesn't support HDMI 2.1, or go through my TV, which gives me noticeably worse audio because it's not being pulled directly from the source. You're missing the point.

@@bluej511 um hdmi does not carry more channels , hdmi is limited , optical is unlimited
Yoooo you’re a life saver. I totally forgot about the controller method. I would need this for my projector because it also doesn’t have a optical audio port
I would assume it's because TOSLINK / SPDIF doesn't have the bandwidth for lossless 7.1 audio, so this connection is being retired, much the same way other older A/V connections are being retired.

If you have a modern day home entertainment system do not use optical out just use HDMI that's more channels with it allowing you to have more independent speakers optical out was originally used as a way to get a digital signal out of receivers into things like tape and CD players so you can make a perfect copy of the audio that is playing through the receiver
You must have said that before even watching the video
I sub’ed just because of how straight to the point ur videos are , I didn’t have to wait 10 minute juss to learn something so minor
I guess the only downside of using the Astro box is that it looks like it locks out the 3D audio tab, which makes it seem like it turns it off. My TV has the port so I wonder what settings would be needed for my Arctis Pro Wireless, and it would disable the 3D audio
So with this converter can i not use 3d audio on m’y 5.1 sound system

Rig 800 wireless headset needs its for bluetooth
@@erickburlya9115 but why tho. Seems to me like optical has no perceivable benefit in the context of a foot or so of audio cable lmao. It's sending the exact same data as a wire, just with light refraction instead of electric impulses. Seems like one of those expensive placebo effect sorts of deals.
@@tituslafrombois1164 dude tbh i dont like either but i spent $150 on the headset and i have to plug in a usb and a optic to use the headset,
Right? It is surprising that people are surprised that the optical out is going away. Toslink hasn't been updated since the early 2000s, it is obsolete tech at this point. 2 decades...
HDMI can provide much higher audio bandwidth and metadata with ARC and eARC. At best, toslink can only do 5.1 compressed, while HDMI can go up to 7.1 uncompressed with Dolby Audio.
@@Rainoffire fr. I think it's just a marketing thing tbh, people think "a cable that uses light is cool, and I know light is fast so that must mean optical audio is better"
When really it's using light to send the exact same signal as a normal wire, just with flashing lights instead of electrical impulses. More points of failure, arguably easier to interfere with, etc.
Optical cable only makes sense in cases where low latency across VAST distances is the top priority (see: fiber internet), using it for consumer audio in 2020 is just downright hilarious. The things placebo will do to people I swear. I once saw a dude who would buy CD's, rip them to WAV, "upscale" those WAVs to like 192khz 24-bit, burn them to blu-ray, and play that from his "hi-fi blu ray player" because he insisted it sounded better.
I'm so mad I can't get the ps5 yet because they sold out

Its so pain in the ass to have no ps5 🥲
Wait till a make a refreshed slim model the current ones are cheaply made. Loud and buggy.
Hopefully PS5 pro with have 2.5 Gbps internet port, at least 2 usb c ports and an optical out and a full spec HDMI 2.1 port. Honestly the PS5 I/O really leaves a lot to be desired. I am grateful we got Wi-Fi 6 though.
Sorry there wont be a ps5 pro
Ps5 just needed another usb A port in front and an optical in back and it would have been perfect
I tried HDMI audio extractors and found the chat audio to be too low, even after adjusting it, it’s only satisfactory if moving it all the way to chat eliminating game audio (which isn’t really a fix). The only way to fix this is with PS5 compatible headphones...
Thanks for that info :), that'll help when I get the PS5
Straight to the point. No just talking about junk just to reach 10 minutes. Love this channel.
Kill capitalism with Molitov cocktail fires before it lays slimy egg cases...
I didn't realize anyone still used optical outs. Sound quality is lower than HDMI and it's a extra cable to do cable management with. I didn't realize headphones sometimes use optical cable which would be an improvement over the audio cable as long as you're careful not to break it. What is annoying is there are limited USB connections (3 USB A and 1 USB C total). I connected my PS 5 to the PSVR which requires 2 USB A ports and then tried to connect an external HHD but the slower USB A on the front won't accept it. I ended up needing to use the USB C (also on the front) fir my external HHD which looks bad and gets in the way.
I have a question: I love my older Marantz home theater, but it only has Optical/Toslink for input. That was fine for my PS4 Pro, but I just got a PS5 today and see it doesn’t have an Optical Out. So I want to convert the PS5’s HDMI to Optical. Wanted to make sure I can use this Astro thing I found in Best Buy?
excellent video. If a connected TV box is playing Dolby True HD / Dolby Atmos / Dts Master Audio / DTSX sound, will this allow SPIDF (Optical Audio Out) to reproduce 5.1 surround audio?

@@jacobtrujillo1237 😂
HDMI is so much better for passing an audio signal. There's a reason option has been dropped and that's because it's obsolete. It's also not hard to buy an adapter, though it may be a problem for legacy products which is understandable. I guess everything is either wireless/ USB or HDMI these days.
yep. Optical lacks the bandwidth for lossless 7.1 audio. I suspect that's a big reason why it's going away.
Yeah except now you can't just connect your home theater system directly without the need of extra crap
@@HerotsLament that's an unfortunate reality of tech advancing, but there's no denying the advantages hdmi ARC or eARC brings with spatial audio. Regardless, this is likely to mean nothing since a receiver can accommodate the setup you have through your TV, instead of through the console. To put it bluntly, you're either happy and keep the gear you have, or get with the times. The HDMI standard isn't going anywhere and is backwards compatible with any gear henceforth. If you don't quite want to do that, just get an adapter. Regardless, if you can afford a home theater system in the thousands and are happy, a relatively cheap adapte is nothing.
@@insertnamehere8723 except my home theater system is from 2014 same with my tv and don't have ARC hdmi ports
@@HerotsLament and do you not have a receiver? Seems strange if you have a home theater and no reciver. I mean, you don't have to plug the audio cable straight into the PlayStation in order for sound to work.
Looking forward to your video recommending the best monitor for the PS5
Are you sure your hdmi settings should be on tv and not av amplifier when using the optical to hdmi adaptor from Astro?
It doesn't have optical because that connector is way too old and the new audio standards need a lot more bandwidth.
Especially Dolby Atmos.
Optical is limited to 5.1 channels normal sound at it's best.
Why come on here saying it’s a PS5 issue when it’s only an Astro issue. They purposely made adaptors using hdmi 2.0 ports on a $300 headset which makes them literary useless for next gen. The consoles were made for optimized 4k 120 . Why spend $340 on a headset to take that away
Get free giveaway gift from elexhack on instagram he just giveaway an ps5 to someone right now
I wouldn’t say it’s ONLY and Astro issue as not only Astro use the optical audio ports, I have steelseries and it uses one too so for me it is a huge pain. Not sure why both next gen consoles have decided to axe this port, it’s like the headphone jack with phones!
Yeah bro thanks for making this vid. This really help out a lot
Great tips, first thing I did was connect to the TV's digital output. A bit of a piss around but solves the issue for me.
Could you explain in detail how you did it?
Fun fact: You don’t even have the PS5 but are still watching this video
fact is wrong
No one
Literally this guy’s tip: buy adapter bruh
is there a sound difference with the hdmi splitter and without? i have got a50's for my ps5 and have connected them through usb directly to the ps5 and have got the audio all fine, however i have heard that you can increase the quality of the audio even more with this splitter? i also have an optical port on my monitor
There are some plug and play USB dac/amps but it has to be uac1. Both new consoles use this ancient standard instead of uac2.
First
Your vids are funny and helpful thx
Should I use my ps5 controller via usb cable (wired) or Bluetooth? On the PS4 Bluetooth was faster is it the same?
I have a PS5 and noticed straight away there was no optical output so just use hdmi and then go optical from tv to sound bar, but I will look at getting the adapter at some point as I usually go optical from console to soundbar
I do have an optical output on my TV, but the PS5 seems to only enable 3D audio to a USB headset. Did you manage to enable it through this device? I don't quite understand this Astro setup and I'm confuse as to why this video suggest to output "Chat Only" to the headpones.
Thanks for the information. I just bought the astro adapter for my PS5 👍👍😄😃😊
Glasscock!! Can you address the problem with the headphone jacks being somewhat loose and causing party audio to sound like you’re getting slapped every syllable
Do I need to use the mix amp in order for it to work? Or could I just use the adapter?
If I was using this for a soundbar or surround sound would I also need that part with the 2 dials on it?
Would you happen to have a link to where we could buy the HDMI to Optical adapter?
Can't get the Astro adapter to work correctly. Do you have a video explaining how to connect everything?
You can also plug in that same wire the he plugged into the controller you just plug it into the audio port in your monitor most of them have it
Thank you for your efforts
Don’t know if this is a stupid question, but if I connect is directly to a monitor (the mix amp) do I still get the new ps5 3D audio?
I’m looking to buy a headset for my new PS5 and kinda want it to be wired this time
Is there an audio difference between the TV optical cable and adapter?
I was scared initially because I have an old receiver that only has optical in. Luckily I was able to plug it into my tv first then have it pass through via HDMI.
