PS5 No sound


The PlayStation 5 (PS5) offers an immersive gaming experience with stunning visuals and high quality audio. However, encountering a no sound issue on your PS5 can be frustrating and impact your gaming enjoyment. 

In this troubleshooting guide, we will explore common reasons behind the PS5 no sound problem and provide solutions to help you resolve it. 

Here's how you get your audio back on PS5:


1. Check Audio Connections

Ensure that the HDMI cable is securely connected to both the PS5 console and your TV or monitor. Disconnect and reconnect the cable to ensure a proper connection.

Verify that the audio output is set to the correct device (e.g., TV speakers or external sound system) in the PS5's audio settings.

2. Adjust Audio Settings on PS5

Access the PS5's Settings menu, go to "Sound," and select "Audio Output." Configure the audio format and settings correctly for your setup.

Increase the volume using the controls on your TV, sound system, or headset. Ensure that the volume is not muted or set too low on both the PS5 and the external audio device.


3. Test Audio with Different Content

Launch different games or apps to see if audio works correctly. If sound is present in other content, the issue may be specific to a particular game or app.


4. Restart the PS5

Power off the PS5 completely, unplug the power cord from the back, wait for a few minutes, and then plug it back in. Power on the console to resolve temporary audio glitches.


5. Check Audio Settings on TV or Sound System:

Ensure that the volume on your TV or sound system is turned up and not muted. Adjust the audio settings.


Check the audio output settings on your TV or sound system to ensure it is set to the correct one.


6. Try Different Audio Output Options

If using a headset, ensure it is properly connected to the PS5 controller. Test with a different headset or headphones to rule out audio device issues.

If using an external sound system, ensure it is connected correctly to the PS5 and powered on. Check the sound system's settings for the correct audio input selection.
