Hearing yourself on PS5 often indicates an issue with your audio settings or headset. To fix this, ensure your microphone is not muted or positioned too close to your speakers. Access your PS5's audio settings, and adjust the microphone volume to a lower level. If you're using a headset, check if there's an option to control sidetone levels, reducing the sound of your voice in your headset. This should help eliminate any echo or playback issues, improving your gaming experience.

FAQs & Answers

  1. Why do I hear myself in my PS5 headset? Hearing yourself in your PS5 headset usually means your microphone is active, potentially with high sidetone settings or it may be too close to your speakers.
  2. How can I adjust my microphone settings on PS5? To adjust your microphone settings on PS5, go to Settings > Sound > Microphone, where you can manage microphone volume and sidetone levels.
  3. What are sidetone levels in a headset? Sidetone levels allow you to hear your own voice through your headset, which helps maintain a natural speaking volume. Lowering it can reduce echo.
