Voice too quiet?

Go to Settings > Sound > Microphone Level. Make sure the microphone is not muted, then increase the level as needed.

Mic still not working?

Confirm the correct Input Device is selected.
Make sure the controller or USB microphone is not muted.
If using a USB microphone, try another USB port on the PS5.
Restart the PS5 and reconnect everything.

Want to use your headset's built-in microphone?

C81-G uses Classic Bluetooth, so the Bluetooth headset microphone is not supported on PS5. LE Audio products can support audio and voice together when both the transmitter and headphones support LE Audio.
