ps4 mic not working but i can hear (fix) HD look at description

READ ALL OF DESCRIPTION FOR ALL SOLUTIONS
A major thing I found out is that if you plug in your headset while muted into the controller then unmute, the jamming thing won’t work, so what you have to do is, unmute your headset before plugging into your controller :)
Pinned Comment has also helped a lot of people
Make sure your audio output is to your headphones and not to your tv.
If you have a three sleeve jack then you will need to find an adapter to make it a 4 sleeve or just buy a 4 sleeve jack cable for that headset.

Hey guys I was just having the same issue with my mic we’re I can hear my friends but they couldn’t hear me but this is how you do it you have to hold the home button then go down to sound and devices the go down to mute all microphones then make sure it unchecked that’s why mines wasn’t working I had it checked 😂I hope this helps anyone !

been searching everywhere to try and fix my new headphones, even to the point of learning how microphones work, and this is the only video that's got them working! thanks man

[@ChowdhuryTwins]

[@ayyuballadeen7645]

Which method you used?

[@mikeyhodge8758]

@@ayyuballadeen7645 unmuting headphones, plug it in all the way and twisting it like he does at 3:00 (sometimes I have to take it out and back in a couple of times). Obvs the 4th sleeve (the microphone bit) is not connecting with the controller. Works every time I do it now

Well, mine won't push all the way in, no matter how hard I try

[@ChowdhuryTwins]

[@ColtinRW]

In that case, probably isn't compatible... process of elimination is very useful! If the tips didn't work, yet it still works on say your phone or computer etc, some things just don't work together or could have some kind of defect.

i’ve done everything you’ve done but we. i push the jack in and hold it it works but when i let go i can’t talk you think maybe it’s the controller?(ps5)

[@ChowdhuryTwins]

Very unlikely for it to be the controller, especially if it is the standard ps5 controller and it is new. Try getting a boom pro mic ($20) which you can attach to your current headset. -in my headset vs video

yh i know some people have to hold it all the time, depends on your jack unfortunately

[@mackelite7275]

Fixes for the A10 brand new out of the box (troubleshooting) 1) Make sure it's not muted this particular mic you must flip the mic downward, since upwards means it's muted. (Also make sure your headset settings are set too all audio and not chat audio in the ps4 settings) 2) restart the ps4 with the mic plugged in, as well as check for any updates that your ps4 may have. (If this dosent fix follow the next steps) 3)make sure the ps4 is recognizing the mic input through the settings if it's not, simply unplug it from the controller. Then plug it in a little more than halfway, not fully then once it's recognized slowly push it in fully. (If it recognizes but won't pick up the input follow the next step) 4)Once the mic is recognized allowing you to hear sound as well as see your mic active but dosent pick up you talking. Simply push hard af (atleast five pounds of pressure on the 3.5mm side that connects directly into the headphone itself) make sure you are in a party and if you think you are pressing hard enough hold rhe pressure and start talking in a party chat to see if it starts lighting up. If it isn't you arnt pushing it hard enough, so try a little harder (I was scared it was going to break the cable with the amount of force I had to put but it ended up working) once you've seen it starting to light up you can let go of the 3.5mm jack and finally enjoy your brand new mic that you just bought. (Step four worked for me after I had to troubleshoot all the other options and decided to share this fix due to being pissed that I had bought a brand new microphone thinking It was broken) If step four dosent fix the issue I'd recommend using a q tip with 90% rubbing alcohol (if you have 70% make sure to clean it twice with a dry q tip that way you dont damage the jax inside of the controller and get rid of any excess alcohol) Hopefully this helps I was in the same boat buying a brand new pair of a10 ps4 headphones only to think they were broken from the start, eventually got pissed and pushed super hard on the 3.5 cable connected to the mic itself held it there and talked into a party to my suprise it actually picked up my input, I was scared if i Le go that it wouldnt work due to how hard I was pressing I in and it wouldn't budge any further but to my suprise it worked) Ps never buy these headphones they are an absolute shit product considering i had to troubleshoot them straight out of a brand new box, took me thirty minutes of tutorial fixed only to find out none of them actually solved the problem other than step 4. For a sixty dollar mic you're better off getting skullcandy for 10$ atleast they'll work out of the box and you don't have to troubleshoot a brand new product.

[@ChowdhuryTwins]

Another fix is that some people are muted in the party settings (this helped a lot of people acc)

[@acesnipes9818]

Ty so much

[@wexyo]

appreciate it 💯

[@zianiquetita9310]

Thanks man I’ll was totally freaking out but the problem was the 3.5mm no being pushed in well enough you have to hear the click appreciate it fr man

[@double_bouble6855]

I keep moving it like u said so it works for like 5 sec then stops

[@ChowdhuryTwins]

hmm, thats something new, what do you mean by moving it? Maybe the jack is loose and easily gets out so when you tilt the ps4 it moves out hence it is not working.

[@double_bouble6855]

Chowdsx2 ya I meant the jack it just randomly happened yesterday

[@ChowdhuryTwins]

Oh okay, make sure after putting the jack in, it stays in and is stable (ie not moving by itself)

[@double_bouble6855]

Chowdsx2 ok thank you it stays still I just have to move it to a certain spot but then it still stops working after a couple sec I think it might be broken

Is still doesn’t work for me

[@ChowdhuryTwins]

The only reason why it isn’t working could be due to 1 of 3 reasons: Its either your jack end not being properly inside the controller, or your controller or your headset. To test which one it is: 1st: tell me if any other headset works on your ps4 when connected to your controller 2nd: try connecting your headset to your phone (should work) If Number 1 doesnt work then its your controller, if number 2 doesnt work then its your headset, but if both works then your 4 ring sleeve jack isnt all the way into the controller. Please reply after a day of testing. Hope I helped :)
