How to use PS5 controller as Mic in Party & game voice chat
Now let’s jump to the main topic and see how you can use your controller as Mic in Party & game voice chat.
- Press the PlayStation button on your PS5, and simply open up the Quick menu.
- At the bottom of your screen, scroll to the right and select the Mic option.
- A small window will pop up at the bottom of your screen.
- Now on the Mic option, make sure that it is set to Wireless Controller.
- Scroll down the small window to “Adjust Mic Level” and click on it. By default, the mic level might be set to a little low value.
- Once you click on it, the Adjust Microphone Level window will appear. Now, use the Microphone Slider at the bottom to make sure the Input Volume is high enough. Decrease the Microphone slider level a little bit, so that the microphone doesn’t pick up everything in the background or maybe even your thumbsticks and button clicks on your controller. This will make sure that your voice output is clear and crisp, and will make it easy for others to listen to you.
Check whether your controller’s microphone is working or not
Your controller is all set to be used as a microphone now. Now check whether the mic on your controller is working or not. In the Game Base option, go to any of your party chats. When your party chat opens up, go to the bottom and click on the Headphone option to join the voice chat. If you speak now, you should find the microphone level by your name, go up and down. Seeing this, you now know that your mic is working properly and everyone in your voice chat party can hear you.
Also, right below the PlayStation button on your controller, you will find a microphone mute button. If you press this, your microphone will be muted. Now, if you hold that button down, it will mute all the audio and your microphone at the same time.
