And QUESTION TWO: after extensive Google searching, it seems the consensus is that Linear PCM is best for HDMI/5.1/7.1 sound for "lossless" audio, but why is it that Bitstream (Dolby) sounds "best" to me – and I mean "best" because in most games, using that setting has a more "real" surround sound effect.
Just like the regular ol' PS4, PS4 Slim has two USB ports on the front of the console (and none on the back). They're positioned much further apart on the Slim, which is a little odd. On the back is a single port each for power, HDMI, ethernet, and "AUX" (that's where the Camera plugs in).
Plug the Bluetooth Adapter Dongle into your PS4's USB port. Wait for the Dongle to flash blue quickly, this indicates pairing mode. Turn your Bluetooth Headphones on and put them into pairing mode also. Your Bluetooth Headphones will now pair with your PS4, indicated by the solid blue light on the dongle.
When using USB, the PS4 can't use more than one USB device for audio. If you have a two usb devices for mic/audio, it will always override your settings and pick one device for both. [USB] You can't use the mic of one device, and the speaker of another.

Practically any wired headset can effectively become a wireless headset by plugging into the 3.5mm jack on your controller. Most wireless headsets work with the PS4 or Xbox, but not both. Headsets with optical jacks can get audio from both consoles, but not necessarily use their microphones.
1) Check whether your mic boom is not loose. Unplug your headset from your PS4 controller, then disconnect the mic boom by pulling it straight out of the headset and plug the mic boom back in. Then re-plug your headset into your PS4 controller again. 1) Connect your PS4 headset with mic into the PS4 controller.
Method 4Using a Wireless Speaker
- Buy an auxiliary cable.
- Attach the speaker to your PS4 controller.
- Turn on and sign into your PS4.
- Open Settings.
- Scroll down and select Devices.
- Select Audio Devices.
- Select Output Device.
- Select Headset Connected to Controller.
No it doesn't. The only outputs the PS4 has is HDMI (Audio + Video) and Optical (Audio only).
An auxiliary port (AUX) is the logical name for a standard communications port. AUX is an asynchronous serial port with an interface that allows the auxiliary input of audio signals for: MP3 players. Headphones. Portable music players.
The price for this repair varies widely. Sony charges around $150 or more to do this repair while other repair shops charge a lot less. My repair shop charges $89.99 (parts, labor and return shipping) and there are others that are probably in that same price range.
PS4 doesn't allow Bluetooth audio devices that aren't specifically designed to work with the PS4 to connect to the console. It may not even be compatible with Airpods but if the earbuds operate like a standard pair of Bluetooth earbuds (which I believe they do) this should work barring any Apple “safeguards”.
No apple headphone old or new will work correctly with newer ds4 controllers. Pick up the ps vita headphones from amazon. They work great. The old ones that look like regular headphones still work.
If you jam the 3.5mm cable in and out but not fully out (just enough to feel the click) the mic will work. V-MODA BoomPro is compatible with Crossfade LP2 and officially supports PS4. standard 4 pole connection on headphones with a Mic is TRRS - tip ring ring sleeve.
