I heard that ps5 and Xbox series x do have optical ports but if they don’t it might work by running a 3.5mm aux cord from your controller to the line in port on the back then plug your headset and mic in the front. Not 100% sure though
Update this video for PS5 please and also include the set-up for SoundBlasterX G6 to PS5 without the need for Mic and GameVoice Mix, all I want is the simplest way on how to make my headphones go loud.
You can do this by using the pc command software. Go to the equalizer and on the left you see the overall volume / loudness. Bump that up to 12 db (Dezibels) and you are good to go:)
It's pretty weird how every time i boot up my PS5, the Volume gets knocked back down from 100% to 50% when using the G6. This doesn't happen with Nintendo Switch though. as is, the volume dial is very annoying since there's no Arrow, nor does it stop or meet an end. It's finicky too. And it would be nice if you could turn off the X and Volume Dial ring light when pairing it with gaming consoles. Seems like both options are just PC exclusive. Oh well, I'm selling mine and switching over to Schiit Hel. :P
I wish I could hear what you are saying but I have a Sound BlasterX G6 sound card! And it's great, all the past 6 hours of me trying to install it were great - I totally recommend it if you are really done with living
You can connect it to your console via USB and a 3.5mm jack to output from your PC, to listen to both audio on one pair of headphones. You will hear buzzing unless you get a Ground Loop Noise Isolator.
@@haies09 the microphone works only on the console sadly. I’m pretty sure if you try to connect a 3.5mm to the back of the sound blaster and the other end to the pc that will just cause the sound from console to go to the pc

I don't see why you can't add the GameVoice Mix to PC as well. Even if you have to connect to cables. I mean, in theory, I could connect the USB and the optical/line in from the PC. Use a software like Steel Series GG to control the output of game sound to go through Optical which shows as Digital Output, and then set chat to output through another, in this case USB. If I connect my USB C to 3.5 to my PC. For chat playback I get options: Realtek Digital Output, that's the Optical, Realtek Audio Speakers, that's the 3.5mm at the back, and Headset (USB-C to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter). Allowing me to output different audio through different jacks. So why not connect the G6 similarly to the PS4 to the PC. Yeah it would use 2 cables, but it should work. All you need is t add the control output device feature to your software like the SteelSeries GG Sonar app does.
their marketing department did a good job into tricking me into believing that the optical out has dolby digital passthrough. it does not. ended up returning it for an actual sound blaster card.
Because you can manually mix your audio on your PC with either the default windows mixer, or by adjusting settings between the game and whatever chat application you're using.
Hey everyone. I just bought myself a brand-new MSI G274QPF-QD. I am loving my new monitor. However, I am facing one issue with it, which is my speakers which are connected to the headphone jack of my monitor, they’re too soft. a friend recommend me this kind of device to fix the issue is this really gonna help me ?
This is a great product. Although when connected to PS5 there is some interference when 3D audio is ON. May be PS5 doesn’t support Tempest 3D Audio through USB??

Doubt you are still seeking an answer. But for those who might be interest: In audio one ideally wants the original signal to be big and modify volume further down the signal path. So volume to the card high, then use headphone control to reduce/increase. The reasoning is that with a bigger signal, the DAC chip itself can use more of its range to output every little change. With the analog stuff behind it having a easier job filtering/amplifying it. A smaller signal risks small bits of information getting lost and unwanted signals like noise leaking in and getting greatly amplified.

can someone help? i got a new computer, and now when i download sound blaster command, it isnt the same. the only options im given are the recording and mixer options. any fix?
Maybe try download the latest sound blaster command, if you haven't already.
Why are the cables so short. It makes the product almost useless. I have to be like 3 feet away to play the console using this
You can buy longer ones. Problem solved.
It's main focus is PC usage. You can buy longer mini usb dirt cheap if you need longer ones.
@@IIHydraII can I connect it to my ps4 controller with aux or will it not work
@@informedquasar7696 no. You plug it into your PS4 with a USB, then plug your headphones/headset into the Soundblaster. You can still use your mic, you don’t need to plug it into your controller for that.
@@IIHydraII so I can't connect it to my controller?
