If you have multiple audio listening devices connected to your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition console, then you can take a look at this tutorial from Seeking Tech to see how you can manually and automatically switch the audio output source.

How to manually change the audio output device on PS5

In order to manually change the audio output device on your PS5 or PS5 Digital Edition system, you need to take the following steps:

1. Before anything else, make sure that the audio listening device you are trying to switch over to is already connected to your console.

2. Next, you need to go to the home screen menu of your PlayStation 5.

To get there quickly, you can long press the PS logo button located on the DualSense controller.

3. Now that you are in the home screen, navigate upwards and then to the right side. From there, you need to select the gear cog icon to get to Settings.

4. From the Settings menu, you then need to head over to Sound.

5. In the Sound section, you first need to select Audio Output on the left side and then Output Device on the right side.

6. After you get to the Output Device menu, you will be able to change the audio output device.

Keep in mind that only one output device can be selected when it comes to the PS5.

How to automatically change the audio output device on PS5

If you want the audio output to automatically switch to the listening device when it is connected to your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition console, then you need to do the following:

1. From the home screen of your PS5, head into the Settings menu.

2. In Settings, make sure you select Sound.

3. Inside the Sound menu, you need to select Audio Output from the left column.

4. On the right side of the same screen, make sure that the Switch Output Device Automatically setting is enabled.

By turning on this setting, your console should automatically switch over to the newest listening device when it is connected.

5. If you want to turn off this feature, then you need to go back to Settings > Sound > Audio Output. You then need to make sure that the Switch Output Device Automatically setting is disabled.

When trying to change the output resolution of your PS5 to 1440p, you may see the option greyed out and the following appear:

“1440p (Not Supported).”

If you try to use the Test 1440p Output function from the Settings > Screen and Video > Video Output menu, then you may also get the following pop-up error message:

“The connected HDMI device doesn’t support 1440p output.”

To see how you can potentially fix these problems when trying to using your console at that particular resolution, you can check out this troubleshooting article here at Seeking Tech.

1. To start off, make sure that you are using the HDMI 2.1 cable that came with your PS5 or PS5 Digital Edition console for the best compatibility. Otherwise, you may end up running into issues by using a third-party cable.

2. You should also look at the HDMI cable to see if there are any visible signs of damage. If there are, then you might want to replace it.

3. If you have another HDMI cable available, then you can try using it as well for the connection to see if doing so will be able to unlock 1440p support.

4. Make sure that your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition system is connected directly to your television set or monitor.

If you are using a HDMI splitter or HDMI pass-through device, then these may have been making the 1440p output incompatible.

5. You should also check your TV or monitor to see if it actually supports 1440p. Some Sony television sets, for instance, did not support that particular resolution until recently.

To find if your screen is compatible with this resolution, you can look up a specification sheet, which you should be able to find online or by looking through the user manual of your TV or monitor.

6. If possible, try to update the driver of your TV or monitor as a new version may have added 1440p support for PS5.

7. Some screens may not support the resolution if you have Variable Refresh Rate and/or 120 Hz Output enabled.

To disable both of these features on your PlayStation 5, you need to head over to the Settings > Screen and Video > Video Output menu. From there, make sure that the Variable Refresh Rate and/or 120 Hz Output options are set to Off.

8. Updating your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition console may also improve 1440p compatibility for TVs and monitors.

To update to a new firmware for your gaming system, turn it on and then make sure you it is connected to the Internet. Afterwards, go to System > System Software > System Software Update and Settings > Update System Software > Update Using Internet to see if there is a new version to download.

If there is, then the download and installation process should automatically start.
