Audio

HDMI audio works on most monitors but not all. Known bug, no fix yet for monitors where it outright doesn't work.

Audio Defaults to Controller Instead of HDMI

If you have a DualSense plugged in via USB, Linux may default audio output to the controller instead of HDMI.

Fix (Ubuntu/GNOME):

  1. Press the Super key and type "Sound"
  2. Open the Sound panel
  3. Under Output, select your HDMI device

Alternative fix: Switch from PipeWire to PulseAudio native - confirmed to resolve audio issues for some users.

HDMI Audio Not Working at All

Some monitors do not recieve HDMI audio from the PS5. This is a known issue with no fix currently. Use a USB or Bluetooth audio device as a workaround.
