Nie, dziękuję Przekieruj mnie tamHow to connect PS4 to soundbar
The best way to connect a PS4 to a soundbar depends on the ports available on your TV, soundbar, and PS4 model.
Best general setup:
PS4 → TV by HDMI
TV → Soundbar by HDMI ARC/eARCIf your soundbar has a full HDMI input, you can also do:
PS4 → Soundbar HDMI IN
Soundbar HDMI OUT/ARC → TV HDMI ARCIf HDMI ARC is not available, use optical/TOSLINK if possible.
Use this if your TV and soundbar both have HDMI ARC or HDMI eARC.
On the PS4, go to:
Settings → Sound and Screen → Audio Output SettingsSet:
Primary Output Port: HDMI OUT
Audio Format Priority: Linear PCM or Bitstream DolbyUse Linear PCM if everything works correctly and you want simple, high-quality uncompressed audio. Use Bitstream Dolby if you want 5.1 surround through ARC and your TV/soundbar supports Dolby Digital passthrough.
Use this if your soundbar has both:
PS4 HDMI OUT → Soundbar HDMI IN
Soundbar HDMI OUT/ARC → TV HDMI IN/ARCThen select the correct HDMI input on the soundbar.
If you have a PS4 Pro and use 4K HDR, make sure the soundbar supports:
If the soundbar does not support these, you may lose 4K, HDR, or get no video signal.
Use:
Primary Output Port: HDMI OUT
Audio Format Priority: Linear PCMThis is usually the cleanest HDMI audio setup.
Use this if your soundbar has an optical input.
PS4 HDMI OUT → TV HDMI IN
PS4 Optical OUT → Soundbar Optical INGo to:
Settings → Sound and Screen → Audio Output SettingsSet:
Primary Output Port: Digital Out Optical
Audio Format Priority: Bitstream Dolby or Bitstream DTSIf your soundbar is only stereo, use Linear PCM instead.
Optical supports stereo PCM and compressed surround formats such as Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1, but it does not support modern high-bandwidth formats such as Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD MA, Dolby Atmos over TrueHD, or uncompressed multichannel PCM.
For PS4 gaming, optical is still perfectly usable.
The PS4 Slim has no optical output, so if your soundbar only has optical input, you have three main choices:
PS4 HDMI OUT → TV HDMI IN
TV Optical OUT → Soundbar Optical INSet the TV’s audio output to Optical/Digital Audio Out.
Use an HDMI audio extractor:
PS4 HDMI OUT → HDMI audio extractor
Extractor HDMI OUT → TV
Extractor Optical OUT → SoundbarThis is useful if your TV cannot pass audio properly to the soundbar.
The PS4 itself does not have a standard analog audio output, but you can use the controller headphone jack.
PS4 controller 3.5 mm headphone jack → Soundbar AUX inputThen on PS4:
Settings → Devices → Audio Devices → Output to Headphones → All AudioThis gives you stereo only, not surround sound. It may also be less convenient because the controller must remain connected and charged.
The PS4 has restricted Bluetooth audio support. Many Bluetooth soundbars will not pair directly with the PS4.
If you want Bluetooth, use a Bluetooth audio transmitter, connected through:
For gaming, Bluetooth can introduce noticeable audio delay, so HDMI or optical is better.
| Your equipment | Recommended connection |
|---|---|
| TV and soundbar have HDMI ARC/eARC | PS4 → TV by HDMI, TV → soundbar by HDMI ARC |
| Soundbar has HDMI IN and HDMI OUT | PS4 → soundbar → TV |
| Original PS4/PS4 Pro and soundbar has optical | PS4 → TV by HDMI, PS4 → soundbar by optical |
| PS4 Slim and optical-only soundbar | PS4 → TV by HDMI, TV → soundbar by optical |
| Soundbar has only AUX | Controller headphone jack → soundbar AUX |
| Bluetooth-only soundbar | Use Bluetooth transmitter; direct pairing may not work |
For HDMI connection:
Settings → Sound and Screen → Audio Output Settings
Primary Output Port: HDMI OUT
Audio Format Priority: Linear PCMIf you are using HDMI ARC and only getting stereo, try:
Audio Format Priority: Bitstream DolbyFor optical connection:
Primary Output Port: Digital Out Optical
Audio Format Priority: Bitstream Dolby or Bitstream DTSFor controller AUX output:
Settings → Devices → Audio Devices
Output to Headphones: All AudioCheck:
On the TV, disable internal speakers or select:
Sound Output → HDMI ARC / Optical / External SpeakerTry:
PS4 Audio Format Priority → Bitstream DolbyAlso check that the TV is set to:
Digital Audio Output → Passthrough / Autonot forced stereo PCM.
Try these in order:
For most setups, use:
PS4 → TV by HDMI
TV → Soundbar by HDMI ARC/eARCIf your soundbar has HDMI input, the best direct setup is:
PS4 → Soundbar HDMI IN
Soundbar HDMI OUT → TVIf HDMI is not available, use optical. Remember: PS4 Slim has no optical output, so for Slim models you usually need to route audio through the TV or use an HDMI audio extractor.
