Be aware that there is substantial latency when using dolby and less with dts, and little to no latency with linear pcm, however there is a catch. Linear pcm as mention is superior to any due to latency and the fact that it's raw. The problem is, is that if you connect your ps5 to a non-hdmi 2.1 capable reciever, your pcm signal will be reduced to 2 channel instead of the full 7 channel mix. This is because the older hdmi spec on the reciever cannot handle the full bandwidth needed to carry the full linear pcm signal. This is why, in this scenario, that when you turn on dolby it sounds better than pcm(again bc it's being down sampled to 2 channel), but then you have latency(processing overhead). If you were connected to a hdmi 2.1 capable reciever you'd get full audio resolution and no latency which is obviously the uncompromising best case configuration. In summary the best audio will be attained from liner pcm + hdmi 2.1 capable receiver, a wired headset via usb(this is expensive and difficult for people), or the Sony headphones. A good middle ground is DTS + a less than 2.1 reciever where you still get latency, but less than dolby, and better audio quality than liner pcm down sampled to 2 channel. Worse audio configuration is headphone jack on the controller, but no percievable latency. Hopefully that's not too confusing. Sony half requires you to be an audio engineer to understand what configuration is the ideal configuration instead of providing proper literature.

[@DanielZH]

Thank you so much for sharing this information, I didn't know some of them and it helped my knowledge, I appreciate it! Soon, I'll be testing the delay for each mode, with a sound extractor, and I'll consider your notes for the video, thanks again.

[@CrissJrTheBeatMaker]

So, all this time I've been thinking I was listening to 3D audio, I use a 2K Monitor with Hdmi 2.0 and using PCM Linear, with the Sony Pulse 3D. What do setting do you recommend me to use then?

[@victoralvarez9459]

What are you talking about? There is no Dolby atmos latency on the PS5. Only on Xbox. This is misinformation

[@dmora2386]

Because if this comment I literally just retested it just now using Horizon Forbidden west. Yes, there is latency between the time a full bow charge chime places through the controller and the time it takes for the receiver to play the sound. The moment its switch to PCM the delay goes away.

[@dmora2386]

@@CrissJrTheBeatMaker You'll get full resolution with the Sony Pulse 3D headset, leave it on PCM. The problem starts occurring when you send the signal to a device that cannot handle the full bandwidth of the linear PCM signal. This can be seen when viewing what type of signal is being received, by the receiver and what mode it goes into. You may not be able to see this on your monitor however. For you the regular sony headset will offer the best experience unless you have an HDMI 2.1 spec receiver.

Another HDMI connects TV to a receiver via eArc 3. 5.1 channel speakers For some reason, whenever I play 4k movies on ps5, the volume sounds lower than usual so I have to turn it up. Also PCM sounds lower on ps5 home screen than Dolby Atmos. Why?

[@xboyPToficial]

Hello friend Danial. I bought a HDMI Switch with audio extractor to deal with the lack of the SPDIF port on the new consoles. It is working fine and it took me a while to figure it out. The only thing that still tickles me is that I do not know what audio format is being extracted by the SPDIF out? This SPDIF is then connected to my Astros TR through the digital in of course and my headphones are connected to the Astros. All my HDMI inputs are coming from the PS5 and Xbox Series X and in bitstream format but I am not sure if the Astros are receiving it in bitstream or even if the HDMI switch SPDIF port is getting the bitstream? Do you have any idea my friend or anyone in here guys? Thanks for all the nice videos and keep them coming.

I have Playstation 3d pulse and audeze penrose headphones. I switched to Dolby Atmos and didn't notice much difference from using linear pcm but when I switched to my Audeze Penrose they were definitely louder than before using the Dolby Atmos selection

[@DanielZH]

Hi, aside from being louder, do you feel the height level from games is different than 3D Audio? If not, there's not much of a difference overall (as there is not actually for headphones.)

[@SeVeN42095]

@DanielZH yes I feel more immersed in single player games and racing games. For fps games it really didn't help because everything was louder and footsteps were even harder to extinguish but maybe adjusting the penrose eq might help. But my question is, why do you think the Playstation 3d pulse didn't get access to the extra power that the Audeze penrose is getting? I'd say it's a 20 to 25 percent increase in volume

[@DanielZH]

@@SeVeN42095 True, Pulse 3D is overall quieter on PS5 even compared to PC, I'm not sure why, but even when you max all EQ frequencies it's still 10-15dB quieter, maybe they did it on propose or maybe it's just because of EQ to not go over 0dB.

Thank you very much for this content that you provide. I am one of your biggest fans and follow all your content.

What do you advise me to do to experience optimal sound, especially since I own a Samsung 990C sound bar?

[@Landonio]

What about for Blu-rays though? Does the 3D audio and/or Atmos work when watching Blu-rays with a headset (connected via USB)? I can't seem to get a clear answer on this, or just exactly what the best settings to use would be in general when using a headset for Blu-rays.

[@DanielZH]

Currently, I don't think this update adds support to Blu-ray as sony didn't mention it anywhere, it seems to be used as a method to turn Tempest 3D Audio into Dolby format for other devices, even if it supports Blu-ray Dolby someday, I think it'll be used for speakers, not for headphones unless that blu-ray disc has a native mix for headphones (which is less likely on PS5) as on PC we have apps and optimizations on app level for movies that support Dolby for Headphones.

As you copied the same question in 3 videos I pasted the same answer for you: every headset has a different kind of sound stage and response frequencies are dependent on the settings and if they provide a setting for that, and it also depends on your ear shape, so you may feel a headset sounds like things are around you while another feels like the sound is coming inside your head (for example Pulse 3D Vs Inzone H3 feel like that) and to me personally the ones that have a better sound stage and can feel like the sound is coming from an outside speaker are better to hear directions, I'm not sure about the models you mentioned as I didn't have any of those, but pay attention to sound stage and how it feels when testing or checking from Rtings .com they provide good info about this.

It depends on the TV, in most cases, it won't make a huge difference unless the TV is designed with a multi-speaker setup and Dolby decoding.

I've just discovered today that I have the Dolby Atmos choice finally on both my OG, and also my newly purchased Slim. When exactly did this upgrade come out for us Console owners? And do you think plain and simple "Dolby Atmos" mode has it's advantages above the others?

[@DanielZH]

Hi, it's a few months since the beta I guess, currently there are a few games like Spider-Man 2 which has a Dolby mix (and only in cinematics) we should wait and see what'll happen in the future, here's an update regarding this in Spider-Man 2 and 3D Audio: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6qWeGCjrpyWr6M

[@JorisKeijser]

Hey, I have some questions. My setup is as follows: PS5 hooked up to hdmi 2.1 TV and a 5.1.2 Atmos soundbar (Q800C) hooked up to the tv with eARC, with the TV set to passthrough audio. So the audio signal from my PS5 goes straight from my ps5 to my 5.1.2 Atmos soundbar, and both 7.1/5.1 LPCM and Atmos are fully supported. I'm trying to decide on the best PS5 audio settings. I used to have it set to Atmos, which works perfectly. TV reports a DTHD signal coming in, passing it through by eARC, and the soundbar says it's receiving Atmos. However I am now wondering if I'm better off setting the PS5 to LPCM, because I see people talking about all kinds of bugs with different games when Atmos is enabled. I thought enabling Atmos would basically just give the PS5 access to all Atmos channels, and when a game doesn't use 3D audio, that it would simply send the plain default 5.1 or 7.1 signal within the Atmos container, and that there wouldn't be any difference between LPCM and Atmos in that case. Both DTHD and LPCM are lossless right? Could you tell me whether I should keep using Atmos or just choose LPCM? And as a follow up, when using LPCM, should I choose 5.1 or 7.1 for my 5.1.2 soundbar? Is it best to let the soundbar handle the downscaling of the additional 2 channels? Or should I let the PS5 handle this? I'm worried it might limit a game's audio capabilities in some way, and I was thinking that maybe the soundbar has some processing going on that allows it to still put the 7.1 channels to good use by adding an effect to it, to make it still kinda distinguishable even though it's coming through the 5.1 channels. And lastly, should I set the speaker positions to the actual positions of the soundbar in terms of degrees, or should I just leave it to default?

[@SamuelBurks-op3xw]

@@JorisKeijser you took the words from my mouth lol I desperately need a reply from op

[@JorisKeijser]

​@@SamuelBurks-op3xw Well, through my own testing and research I have come to the following conclusions: -The Soundbar and TV settings on the PS5 are the exact same audio signal, but these settings are reported to games, so that the in-game audio settings will (when a game has those settings) also be set to either the TV or Soundbar (or home cinema when AV receiver is chosen in the PS5 audio settings) audio profile. This often determines the dynamic range that's applied to the game's audio. When a game is set to TV for example, the dynamic range (difference between loudest and quietest) will be smaller than when set so something like home cinema. -The Soundbar and TV options will always output the maximum supported (reported by the device that's hooked up, the TV in my case) amount of channels. So in my case they will both output 7.1 channels, while the AV receiver setting lets you choose between 7.1, 5.1 and 2.0 yourself. When the AV Receiver option is also set to 7.1, there is no difference in audio signal compared to TV or Soundbar, which can be deduced by the fact that there is no short pause in the audio when switching between them. It doesn't actually switch to a different type of output signal so there is no short pause that signifies the switching that's happening. The pause/switch DOES happen when you set AV Reveicer to 5.1 and then switch between that and either TV or Soundbar. So in summary, TV, Soundbar, and AV Receiver 7.1 are all the exact same audio signal. AV Receiver 5.1 is different simply because it's 5.1 instead of 7.1. -My soundbar (Samsung Q800C) does in fact process the additional 2 surround channels on 7.1 vs 5.1 a little differently, so it does in fact offer a different/more complete surround sound than plain 5.1, even though it physically only has 5.1 channels to play through. -For some reason the Dolby Audio format on PS5 only outputs a Dolby Digital 5.1 signal for my setup, instead of Dolby Digital Plus 7.1. When selecting AV Receiver 7.1 and Dolby Audio, it only outputs 5.1. Switching the PS5 between 5.1 or 7.1 does not result in a pause in the audio, and both my Soundbar and TV just keep reporting they're receiving a Dolby Digital audio signal, instead of Dolby Digital Plus which would be needed for 7.1. This is trange as my setup definitely supports DD+ 7.1, but I have a feeling the PS5 simply doesn't support DD+, but only DD so only 5.1 when choosing Dolby Audio is your format on PS5. So, don't use it if you want 7.1. -The Dolby Atmos setting always outputs 7.1 (over Dolby TrueHD in my case), and can never be changed to 5.1, which is fine. -LPCM is also always 7.1, except when setting the PS5 to AV Receiver 5.1. -I have not been able to find out whether there is a difference in "speaker position" settings between any of the options, and I suspect that by default they all just use the default settings that are seen in the settings menu for the AV Receiver option. So I don't think there's any reason to let it influence your decision. -Dolby Atmos is only useful to choose when a game uses the Tempest 3D audio engine, which almost no game uses. This means there is not benefit to it compared to regular LPCM 7.1. I would recommend to not use it, as I've seen reports of bugs in terms of active channels and audio placement on wrong channels and such when a regular 7.1 game is converted to Dolby Atmos. Setting the PS5 to plain 7.1 will assure all games correctly output their audio without any bugs. In the end, for my setup, I have chosen to use Soundbar with LPCM. This outputs 7.1 LPCM. I could choose AV Receiver 7.1, but purely because I'm not 100% sure about the "speaker placement" thing, I'm going for the Soundbar option just in case the AV Receiver option deviates from any sort of unprocessed speaker placement setting and instead changes it to the exact default settings when choosing AV Receiver. It probably doesn't matter though. Then, in games, I just verify whether the audio settings are correct, and I preferrably have the game set to home cinema (or something similar). Additionally, which is very specific to my soundbar, 7.1 and 5.1 sound identical in the soundbar's "standard" mode, but when using "adaptive" the 7.1 audio sounds a lot worse, way more muffled, than when using "standard". With a 5.1 signal though, "adaptive" behaves as expected and adds a bit more clarity to things like voices. But standard is the way to go anyways, as it gives a more accurate and true surround sound. So, with the Q800C, don't use adaptive for 7.1, only for 5.1, but I recommend to use standard anyway. Hope this helps you, and if you have any questions I'd love to hear them!
