Connecting your PlayStation to speakers is straightforward. Firstly, identify the available ports on your speakers (HDMI, optical, or 3.5mm). For HD sound, use an optical cable: connect it to the optical audio out on the PlayStation and the other end to your speakers. Alternatively, use an HDMI audio extractor if your speakers only have a 3.5mm jack. This will route audio from the PlayStation via HDMI to the extractor, then to your speakers. Adjust audio settings on your PlayStation accordingly.
