How to Fix Audio Not Coming Through TV Speakers with PS5 Output Devices (Best Method)
4Having your PS5's audio not come through your TV speakers is a common and fixable issue. It's almost always a settings or hardware problem that can be resolved with a systematic approach.
Here's the best method to fix audio not coming through your TV speakers on PS5:
Step 1: The Quick Fix (Check for a Headset)
The most frequent reason for no sound from your TV is that the PS5 is automatically routing the audio to a connected headset.
Unplug all headsets: If you have a wired headset plugged into your controller or a USB headset plugged into the console, unplug it.
Disconnect wireless headsets:
Press the PlayStation button on your controller to open the Control Center.
Go to the Sound icon (a speaker with a line through it) at the bottom.
Select Output Device and make sure it is set to "HDMI Device (TV)." If a headset is connected, you'll see it as a different option.
Check for "Switch Output Device Automatically": To prevent this from happening in the future, go to Settings Sound Audio Output and turn off the "Switch Output Device Automatically" toggle.
Step 2: Check PS5 Audio Output Settings
If no headset is connected, the issue is likely a misconfigured setting on the PS5 itself.
From the PS5 home screen, go to Settings (the gear icon in the top-right corner).
Select Sound.
Choose Audio Output.
Output Device: Ensure this is set to "HDMI Device (TV)".
HDMI Device Type: Set this to "TV." If you're using a soundbar or AV receiver, select the corresponding option.
Audio Format (Priority): By default, this is set to Linear PCM. This is the best setting for most setups. If you're not getting any sound, you can try switching this to Dolby or DTS to see if that resolves the issue, as some TVs or sound systems might prefer a different format.
