PS4 PS4 + PS21 = :(

[The_Carpet_Frog]

I don't understand why they didn't make the PS4 with a headphone socket on it, ffs how hard can it be

So I now have a set of Turtle Beach PX21 collecting dust in the cupboard cause I cant use them on the PS4 (and no I don't have a audio out on my TV only the optical one)


Anyone know a way of getting around this?

Silly question, but how did you use that with the PS3, which also has no headphone jack.

I imagine whatever solution you used to convert game sound to headphone jack should work on the PS4 too.

If you can't output your TV sound to the headphones (do TV's come without headphone sockets?) you could try plugging it into the game controller and see what options you get.

I had a Roxio game capture thing connected to the PS3, but was hoping not to have to use that just for the headset to work. Think I may have found a solution though, a optical to cable convertor.

 

[The_Carpet_Frog]

Having just looked the PS4 doesn't have a AV multi out socket so I wouldn't use the Roxio anyway.

Doesn't it have a usb plug on it? Just Googled the PX21's and they have a usb end, Just plug it into your PS4.

Yes, that is for the power, there is also a 3.5mm jack plug that does the audio.

 

[HERMAN_JELMET]

Plug the 3.5mm jack into the controller.

Plug the 3.5mm jack into the controller.

You make ik sound so sexy.

Like @HERMAN_JELMET said, plug jack into controller. Go into audio settings and do what chap says if the headphone audio doesn't come up.

I did try plugging it into there but i wasnt expecting it to work cause i thought that was a mono socket not a stereo one, so thought that it would only do 1 channel at best. I didnt actually get anything although I must admit that i dont know what that setting is on.

So get a bigger TV...no need to squint and give yourself a headache then

I have a 42" TV and sit on top of it. But then I already have square eyes so whatever.
@zoob, yes @mick has joined the PS4 ranks. Best save your beer money up for a PS4 or sell a child or something.

 

[The_Carpet_Frog]

@zoob yes mate, didnt particularly want one yet but the otherhalf said she would buy one if I wanted it, would have been rude to refuse.

@ColSonders That sounds like a great idea
