Does the PS4 allow 7.1 through PS4 dashboard audio out sound settings or does it limit the output to 5.1?

5.1 sadly but the headset is still worth it. Love it so much. Comfortable and the sound quality is awesome.

Yes I believe allows 7.1 and I have the same headphones and it works really well. I hope this helps

Currently uses 5.1 but Sony is looking to enhancing to use the 7.1 capabilities in an update within the near future. Still an amazing sound once fine tuned for personal use between chat and game audio equality and the ever favorite no wires at all from the headset.

no, just don't use the bitstream output from the ps3, use linear pcm and you'll get dts-hd and dolby truehd from the receiver, the ps3 will decode the audio just fine.

The chat listening volume is set from the PS4 setting. Game sound will change based on the volume knob on headphones. The original xbox cable had an inline volume control which would have been nice. The mute and voice change settings seem to work from the headset controls. So you may be able to change the volume you are transmitting at. (on a TB PX5)

Hey man, actually I just figured out a way for you to send audio from a PS4 to an XPRO2 Pedestal Gaming Chair, or pretty much any chair that has a 3.5mm audio input! Just connect to your PS4 controller, set your controller audio device settings to send [All Audio] and bam! Made a video about it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poDpIVJYCWE

HC and everyone else answered your question perfectly. I have mine set up just the was he does with 5.1. I like the fact that I can go up to 7.1 and even 7.2 as he also stated. In addition, I have my zone 2 speakers (analog) running up stairs so I can take full advantage of listening to Internet radio while others can watch tv downstairs using the zone 1 5.1 set-up. Once you cut both zones on at the same time, I switch it to the internet radio and can hear all my speakers throughout the house.

I have this installed in my PS4 and I do not hear anything unusual or loud when it's running. Even after having the system on for several hours streaming movies or playing games.

My sound bar, the Vizio 5.1 wireless system indicates that 5.1 dolby digital when connected via optical to the tv's optical out. It only does this when the source on the TV is 5.1 in OTA programming or using the in TV smart applications. Its does not provide 5.1 passthrough with my HDMI cable to my set top box or my PS3. Those had to be hooked up directly to the soundbar to get 5.1 sound. However if you have a soundbar that will upmix 2 ch PCM it will pass that signal through HDMI and try its best to make it "surround"

Yes! 5.1 still works fine, I haven't tested 7.1 but I expect the original audio stream is passed straight through so anything that works over HDMI should work through the box.

Yes. I have my ps4 and my tv connected by an hdmi cable and I used this device from my tv In the "audio out" port. On your ps4 you change your output to tv or I believe it's called Doby 5.1. So basically u just hook this up to your tv audio output and not the ps4. Works great though.

You could get a SCART audio extractor that lets you input audio, or you could modify the cable to support audio. What console are you using?

7.1 and 5.1 have nothing to do with whether the audio is HD or not. In fact, the majority of films/blu-rays are still in 5.1 surround, 7.1 has yet to be widely adopted. So, this means that no, the High-Def audio formats are not downgraded for 5.1 sound.

Connect your bd7 receiver to tv via HDMI cable. Make sure you select "hdmi arc port" on both tv and bds receiver. By this setup you will only need to connect one cable to receiver and all other cables for ps4 xbox your set top box can stay connected.Now go to receivers menu, select aux using receivers remote control, till you see hdmi arc. You are all set. from this point you should receive the sound through 5.1 system

Yes, you can plugin and use directly. But the external sound card may not be use because I don't know it need to install drivers on ps4 or not.

I agree with Kanagaraj. What I do is have the console set up as normal. The speakers are connected to the tv audio output. Turn the tv volume down and just use the speaker volume. It's what I do when I watch movies on my PS3 and it sounds great. Hope this helps!

Yes, the PX5 is compatible for surround-sound game audio out-of-the-box, but will require a PS4 Chat Cable or PS4 Talkback Cable for chat compatibility.Compatibility and setup information for all our products can be found here: http://www.turtlebeach.com/connect

You can connect the PS4 using s/pdif connection. (the sound system does not have an HDMI input) so you have to use s/pdif.

It works well but the 5.1 sound in games are bad, in movies and music its fine.
