Be aware that there is substantial latency when using dolby and less with dts, and little to no latency with linear pcm, however there is a catch. Linear pcm as mention is superior to any due to latency and the fact that it's raw. The problem is, is that if you connect your ps5 to a non-hdmi 2.1 capable reciever, your pcm signal will be reduced to 2 channel instead of the full 7 channel mix. This is because the older hdmi spec on the reciever cannot handle the full bandwidth needed to carry the full linear pcm signal. This is why, in this scenario, that when you turn on dolby it sounds better than pcm(again bc it's being down sampled to 2 channel), but then you have latency(processing overhead). If you were connected to a hdmi 2.1 capable reciever you'd get full audio resolution and no latency which is obviously the uncompromising best case configuration. In summary the best audio will be attained from liner pcm + hdmi 2.1 capable receiver, a wired headset via usb(this is expensive and difficult for people), or the Sony headphones. A good middle ground is DTS + a less than 2.1 reciever where you still get latency, but less than dolby, and better audio quality than liner pcm down sampled to 2 channel. Worse audio configuration is headphone jack on the controller, but no percievable latency. Hopefully that's not too confusing. Sony half requires you to be an audio engineer to understand what configuration is the ideal configuration instead of providing proper literature.

Thank you very much for this content that you provide. I am one of your biggest fans and follow all your content. Unfortunately, when I had the Xbox, I found the Atmos sound very nice, but in the PS5 Pro, the sound is uneven and close to bad. What do you advise me to do to experience optimal sound, especially since I own a Samsung 990C sound bar?

I have Playstation 3d pulse and audeze penrose headphones. I switched to Dolby Atmos and didn't notice much difference from using linear pcm but when I switched to my Audeze Penrose they were definitely louder than before using the Dolby Atmos selection

Hello friend Danial. I bought a HDMI Switch with audio extractor to deal with the lack of the SPDIF port on the new consoles. It is working fine and it took me a while to figure it out. The only thing that still tickles me is that I do not know what audio format is being extracted by the SPDIF out? This SPDIF is then connected to my Astros TR through the digital in of course and my headphones are connected to the Astros. All my HDMI inputs are coming from the PS5 and Xbox Series X and in bitstream format but I am not sure if the Astros are receiving it in bitstream or even if the HDMI switch SPDIF port is getting the bitstream? Do you have any idea my friend or anyone in here guys? Thanks for all the nice videos and keep them coming.

What about watching 4k movies on ps5? What audio settings I should configure? Here is my setup:

1. HDMI connects my ps5 to tv (LG G3)
2. Another HDMI connects TV to a receiver via eArc
3. 5.1 channel speakers

For some reason, whenever I play 4k movies on ps5, the volume sounds lower than usual so I have to turn it up.

Also PCM sounds lower on ps5 home screen than Dolby Atmos. Why?

So i just purchased a pair of astro a50s the main game i play is a fps call rainbow six siege i play on ps5 what is the the best way to set up the audio i also have the hdmi adapter for the astros

[erkyperky]

I have three options connecting my ps5 to amplifier running a 2.0 setup. First option is to use a usb to optical adapter to smp. Second option is, to use usb-c to usb-b to amp. Third option is run optical or of tv to amp. Which do you think is the most efficient/give me better sound production? All comments appreciated.

How can open the Equalizer Option?
Its only for Wireless?

[lucavanzetto]

i have a 2k monitor and 2.1 hdmi, for warzone and racing games is best the pcm linear or another one?(i have logitech g pro x cabled as headphone)
great video anyway🔥

[elbarry]

Finally, the first channel that talks about sound, the only thing that really matters to me. Everyone talks about fps, 4k and I do feel alone (? 😹 I'm not interested on video, I can play pretty fine with 1080p, but, DTS is a *must* for me.

Thank you for this. Suscribed!

I got ps5 and 5.1 setup. Console connected to tv. Tv via earc to avn. Tv set to bitstream. Why everyone says that blue ray player shoud be set to bitstream if pcm is best? Also it is said that bitstream is processed in avn and pcm in console. Please explain.

I just got the hta 3000 and the two speakers for the 36p Spatial Audio. How do I make it the best for my ps5

[mizoo]

Hey i have pulse elite which one u recommend because my headset sounds loud alot and it gives me headache

[ALEXStudio]

The best 3D sound is DTS sound unbound? I have LG pro x headphones, all my games will use DTS:X headphones?

[Landonio]

What about for Blu-rays though? Does the 3D audio and/or Atmos work when watching Blu-rays with a headset (connected via USB)? I can't seem to get a clear answer on this, or just exactly what the best settings to use would be in general when using a headset for Blu-rays.

Can you do a review and settings for the inzone H9 thanks

[scottvangasbeck]

The way I look at it is like how fast ur tv needs 30 or 40 megabytes per second to me that is compressed.

[seands]

I have a 2.1 soundbar connected directly to the TV through hdmi arc, do I set it to linear pcm or dolby audio?

[jonathanb.]

what settings would you recommend for wired headphones?

[artthoudoge-]

Thanks for the video man, although i have a question. I have the Samsung Q900C and i have a TV with a 2.0 HDMI. It says it can support Dolby Atmos via the HDMI Arc, should i leave the audio format on linear PCM or can i use Dolby Atmos?
