Troubleshooting distorted audio on PlayStation 5

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Users experiencing distorted audio on their PlayStation 5 can troubleshoot the issue by restarting all connected devices, including the console, TV, and speaker system. If the problem persists, it's recommended to test different audio sources and cables to isolate whether the issue lies with the PS5 itself, the cables, or other connected equipment like a Roku or Apple TV. Adjusting the PS5's audio settings, such as enabling 3D audio or selecting the appropriate audio format like Linear PCM, can also resolve distorted sound. AI
