PS4 Bluetooth controller's headphone jack does not produce sound when headphones are connected.

יהללב-רן · Nov 8, 2021

Hi, I tried to connect my PS4 controller via Bluetooth and connect my headphones to the built in jack in the controller, but no sound is coming out of the headphones.
I already had DS4Windows installed, but that didn't help, and I tried to switch the output sound to the Wireless Controller, but the device was not in the list of possible output devices. Even after I tried every device on that list the headphones did not produce any sound.

The only two solutions are to buy an expensive pair of Bluetooth headphones, or extend the existing headphones' cable, which will be very uncomfortable.
Thanks.

If you want controller headset audio you need an Xbox controller. Other controllers are only supported as basic pad stick and butttons

I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the Xbox community. How are you?

Seeing some comments about this it seems that it is not possible to use the audio from a headset connected to the controller with Bluetooth but I recommend contacting Sony to confirm this and receive the correct instructions.

I am having a similar issue with the new Master Chief controller for Xbox One. When I use my ear buds (without mic) I get sound through the controller and everything works fine. When I use my new headphones (over ear Bluetooth/aux capable) with the 3.5mm
cable it detects the headphones but does not play sound. The headphones work on all of my other devices with 3.5mm jack.

Hi,

The 3.5mm headphone jack on Xbox One/Series X|S controllers (including Elite controllers) does not work when connected via Bluetooth. It will only work via USB or the official Xbox wireless adaptor.

Got it, thank you. The Xbox controller will be listed as a headset because it has a headphone jack built-in. When using the Xbox Wireless Adapter, you can use this headphone jack; it's not supported over Bluetooth, which is why it appears differently.

Does this affect the normal functionality of the controller or headset in any way?
