PlayStation Setup Guide
Setting up Audio Radar with your PlayStation ensures you receive accurate visual feedback from in-game audio cues, enhancing spatial awareness and immersion. This guide will walk you through the step-by-step setup process, including HDMI connections, PlayStation audio settings, and troubleshooting common issues. By the end, Audio Radar will be fully optimized for your PlayStation gaming experience.
Important Note for Gamers Using Headsets & Chat
PlayStation consoles do not allow simultaneous audio output to both HDMI (Audio Radar) and a headset. This means that if you use a headset for in-game chat, game audio will only go to Audio Radar, while your headset will receive chat audio only. This is a PlayStation system limitation, not an issue with Audio Radar. Deaf gamers or those who do not use voice chat are unaffected by this limitation. To learn more and view suggested workarounds, please go to page 4 of the guide below.
