Hey in order to use the VOICE/Game EQ with the PS5 Here is the right setup: HDMI Setup - Console Settings - Audio Output From the PlayStation Home Screen, navigate to Settings > Sound > Audio Output. Change Output Device to USB Headset (A50 X). Change Switch Output Device Automatically to On. Under Headphones, change Output to Headphones to Voice Chat Audio. Change HDMI Device Type to TV. Under General, change Audio Format (Priority) to Linear PCM. From the PlayStation Home Screen, navigate to Settings > Sound > 3D Audio for TV Speakers Change Enable 3D Audio for TV Speakers to On. Change Apply Measurement Results to 3D Audio to Off.

You found a fix ?

[@jullianshines]

Please let us know if u find a fix, thank you!

[@apes-r-us]

You have to connect it this way to get audio on both your headset and passthrough to your capture card for streaming . Ps5 hdmi goes to your in on your capture card then from your capture card itll connect to the headsets on the correct console hdmi . The main hdmi on the astro dock has to be connected to your monitor . Then youll be able to get audio on both headset and capture card . Audio will pass to your capture when headset is on . Remember to set the audio output on your console to hdmi tv to capture the gamechat . You still need an external mic if your streaming and want your audience to hear you .

Unfortunately no.

[@apes-r-us]

Yes

[@apes-r-us]

You have to connect the hdmi from your ps5 to the capture card then the hdmi from the capture card to the correct console hdmi on the dock , then the dock connects to the monitor . Once connected youll get both audio from console and headset at the sametime whether the headset is on or off audio will go through . Also on the ps5 settings your audio output should be hdmi tv so you can get the gamechat . Basically your capture card has to be connected before your dock . Ps5 to CaptureCard to Dock to Monitor .

If I plug pc USB into PS usb slot, will I be able to hear PS5 (through HDMI) and pc (through USB) at the same time?

[@logitechsupport]

Yes, if you plug the PC USB into the PS USB slot, you will be able to hear the PS5 audio through HDMI and the PC audio through USB at the same time. However, we recommend using Bluetooth for voice chat while playing on either console mode.

What happens if my ps5 is going into a soundbar?

[@iTzACEx]

Why dont you use Dolby Digital and 5.1 Ch as with the A50 Gen 4?

[@logitechsupport]

The A50 Gen 4 uses Atmos instead of Dolby Digital and 5.1 Ch. The product's Dolby experience has been upgraded to Atmos and is designed to work closely with XBOX and Windows. Atmos delivers an object-based spatial audio experience, and its playback is different from older formats. The Dolby Headphones button has been superseded by Atmos for a more advanced audio experience.

[@iTzACEx]

@@iTzACEx That is correct.

[@LosHoleshottos]

What would be the downside if I only connect USB to the ps5? I want to avoid all this cabling mess. What will I lose by doing that?

[@logitechsupport]

If you only connect USB to the PS5, you will lose the ability to experience audio at 24bit 48kHz, as your audio experience will be capped at 16bit 48kHz for both consoles. However, you can still maintain 24bit 48kHz audio for your PC.

Anyways I followed all the instructions in to video for the PS5 tutorial and my screen is black with everything hooked up correctly. So I tried the other way and there’s nothing else hooked up to the base station other then the power cord and USB I turn on the PlayStation and it works but that’s because I have my HMDI 2.1 connected to my PlayStation to my monitor. My headset is up to date and I believe my monitor is

[@edwardvilleda4275]

WHy you didnt chose Dolby Atmos option on AUdio Format (priority) ?

[@logitechsupport]

We didn't opt for the Dolby Atmos option on the Audio Format (priority) because the PS5's Atmos function does not currently support HDMI headsets, and we want to ensure a seamless audio experience for our users. As of now, we don't officially support Atmos on PS5.

[@BarderBetterFasterStronger]

This device is baffling. - Seems incompatible with pass through capture cards. - No optical port - No aux port - If you have the headset set to pc, you **lose** the HDMI image to your TV from your console. - 6 cables, 2-3 of which are required and not included. - Seemingly not compatible with hdmi eArc so there is no way to listen to your tv via the headphones because there is also **no optical port**. - Requires power from a wall outlet, a requirement the previous A50s did not have. Why couldn't we just have the A50 Gen 4 with Bluetooth. That was literally the only thing missing. This device is a mess. Any chance you can roll out a software update so I can pair these headphones with my A50 Gen 4 base?

[@BarderBetterFasterStronger]

Here's a few hypotheticals: 1. You are gaming on PS5 and are in a voice chat. You would like to switch to PC but remain in your PS voice chat. You switch your audio to PC. You lose both your console chat audio and picture to your TV. 2. You are going on PC and are in a discord chat. You wish to switch to console but stay in your discord chat. You switch to console and lose all pc audio. 3. You have an HDMI passthrough capture card and would like to use it to capture game audio. You cannot do this with these headphones. 4. You would like to hear your TV's audio through these headphones. You cannot. 5. You are hard of hearing but still like to enjoy TV in a group setting. You would like to play TV audio for the people in the room and simultaneously over your headphones so that you can adjust the volume up as needed. The A50Xs won't play audio simultaneously. All previous A50s had all of these capabilities. The A50Xs have NONE. What a blunder after years of hiatus for the largest price tag yet. Baffling.

Japanese subtitles please.

[@logitechsupport]

According to our end there should be Japanese subtitles available, can you please check again?

[@polpol570]

@@logitechsupport Thank you! Japanese subtitles are now displayed! It wasn't showing when I accessed it earlier!

The only downside is all the cables needing to be plugged in to the dock and consoles, Bluetooth would be a better option.

[@LogitechG]

Bluetooth is included and can be used to connect to your mobile device or PC while also receiving audio from your PS5 via USB/HDMI

[@RGR465]

What about a USB dongle like every other wireless headset??😂

[@LogitechG]

This wouldn't enable the features and functionality that the headset is designed for: to serve as a connector for your gaming setup. We have other headsets under our product umbrella that have USB dongle connectivity for those who seek it.

[@A5hTriX]

Ps5 voice chat/ game chat buttons on the headset do nothing...😂

[@mrvegas06]

You need to correctly set up your ps5, working like a charm for me... Notice: i dont use the video set up at all.

360 bucks to run all these cables.. what a fucking joke why not have a simple bluetooth setup like everyone else

[@jodliczz]

Why u put there G logo??? Its Astro… not Logitech. Dont make them the same….

[@Ralexxanderr]

Logitech has owned Astro since 2017.

[@LogitechG]

ASTRO is now a product series under the Logitech G brand.

ganz ehrlich für den Preis so ein müll kann party und Gamesound nicht trennen. Frechheit!

[@Nibiru420]

Ha theres literally 6 cables coming out of the station....... 6!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll stick with my maxwells with 1 dongle.

[@armen1136]

yeah after I started setting it up, I realized that it's ridiculous how many cables are connected to it, I can't even take advantage of the HDMI connections on it because of compatibility issues with my display. It definitely seems like it's designed more for tv's rather than monitors. I honestly prefer the simplicity of the Maxwell.

[@bigcwastaken2112]

But your also using 3 devices at once with hdmi switcher

[@necondaa]

Enjoy the heavy weight of the Maxwells, Penrose was uncomfortable af & I’m sure the Maxwell has the same issue

[@TheSMSpider]

Oh no cables what a night mare. Keep playing with your dongle every time you wanna switch devices.

What if PS5 Slim says that my TV doesn’t support ALLM? 🥲
