PS4 + AirPods Pro (alien.top)

I’ve tried to have my PS4 audio output to my AirPods but I can’t seem to get it to work, although I have no problem with eARC’ing the PS4 to the HomePods. Is this possible? If so, what about using the AirPods as a microphone?

Edit: For additional context when switching to the PS4 input with connected AirPods no audio plays at all. I have to return to the Apple TV and disconnect the AirPods manually (taking them off doesn’t appear to work). Also, I had to turn eARC back on (disabled by a recent update perhaps?) and now I can no longer control my volume while the ps4 is the selected input

Hardware:

  • Latest ATV (eARC on)
  • LG C2 (eARC on)
  • Latest AirPod Pros
  • HomePod Gen 2 x2
  • PS4

You cannot use wireless audio devices with the PS4 & PS5.

Well is that still the case when my audio is going from the PS4 to the ATV over wire and then to my AirPods?

Basically the HomePods are the default audio output source so whatever audio signal the TV is receiving from the TV will be sent to the HomePods.

With that being said, you can use AirPods & other wireless audio devices with an Apple TV but not with the PS4 & PS5.

Set your LG C2 TV to these settings:

HDMI Input Audio Format: Bitstream

Digital Sound Output: Pass Through

HDMI eARC Support: On

Set the Apple TV to these settings:

Change Format: Off

Dolby Atmos: On

I appreciate this, but my settings already match (ATV is set to auto which displays the above) :)
