How to Fix Microphone & Sound Not Working on PS5 Playing COD Black Ops 6 (Headset Tutorial)
17If your microphone and sound aren’t working on your PS5 while playing Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, here are steps to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:
1. Check PS5 Audio Settings
Go to Settings - Sound - Microphone.
Make sure Input Device is set to your headset or microphone.
Adjust the Microphone Level to ensure it’s picking up sound.
2. Check In-Game Audio Settings
In the main menu of Black Ops 6, go to Options - Audio Settings.
Confirm that Voice Chat is enabled and that Voice Chat Volume is turned up.
Ensure that Mute Everyone Except Party or Mute All Except Friends isn’t activated, as these can block other players’ audio or mute your own mic unintentionally.
3. Adjust Controller Microphone Settings
If you’re using the built-in mic on the DualSense controller, ensure it’s unmuted. The orange light on the controller shows the mic is muted—press the Mute button to turn it off.
For headsets connected to the controller, ensure they’re properly plugged in and selected as the default audio input.
4. Set Output Device to Headset or TV (if applicable)
Go to Settings - Sound - Audio Output.
Ensure the Output Device is set to your headset or TV, depending on where you want sound to come from.
You can also set Output to Headphones to All Audio if using a headset.
5. Adjust In-Game Party and Chat Settings
Check your Party Chat settings to ensure you’re using Game Chat if you’re communicating with players not in your party.
Go to the Social menu in the game to switch to Game Chat if needed.
6. Restart the Game and Console
Sometimes a simple restart can resolve audio issues. Close Black Ops 6 and relaunch it.
If that doesn’t work, restart your PS5.
7. Test with Another Game or App
To rule out hardware issues, test your microphone and sound with another game or app.
This can help identify if the problem is specific to Black Ops 6 or a PS5 system issue.
8. Update the Game and PS5 Firmware
Make sure both Black Ops 6 and your PS5 software are updated to the latest versions, as updates often fix known bugs and improve compatibility.
