I’ve tried to have my PS4 audio output to my AirPods but I can’t seem to get it to work, although I have no problem with eARC’ing the PS4 to the HomePods. Is this possible? If so, what about using the AirPods as a microphone?
Edit: For additional context when switching to the PS4 input with connected AirPods no audio plays at all. I have to return to the Apple TV and disconnect the AirPods manually (taking them off doesn’t appear to work). Also, I had to turn eARC back on (disabled by a recent update perhaps?) and now I can no longer control my volume while the ps4 is the selected input
Hardware:
- Latest ATV (eARC on)
- LG C2 (eARC on)
- Latest AirPod Pros
- HomePod Gen 2 x2
- PS4
I just use some wired headphones plugged into the controller if I want to game quietly. Pretty dumb that Sony won’t allow BT audio devices directly on the PS.
Agreed! I was extremely surprised to see that this limitation still exists on the PS5/Xbox. If it wasn’t I’d buy one, but their loss. Hopefully cloud gaming is in Apple TVs future.
