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.
