I know this isn't what you asked but I have an LG C2 as well and you can connect the AirPods to the TV over Bluetooth for audio on the AirPods, I do it often and I think it works pretty well for my PS3, PS4 and 5

Thanks. Does this work for the mic? Also, does this provide Spatial Audio when done this way? If not, sadly I’d rather just use my HomePods
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) :)
It’s possible
I just use some wired headphones plugged into the controller if I want to game quietly. Pretty dumb that Sony won't allow BT audio devices directly on the PS.
Agreed! I was extremely surprised to see that this limitation still exists on the PS5/Xbox. If it wasn’t I’d buy one, but their loss. Hopefully cloud gaming is in Apple TVs future.
I’ve read that the Creative BT-W3 transmitter will connect to AirPods but I’ve yet to try it.
But short of getting a proper gaming headset, earbuds wired to the controller gives much better audio than the TV.
