Anyone else have the Pulse 3D sound completely drop out now and then? Really annoying when it happens during speech.

PlayStation 5 |OT| Play Has No Limits

Weird. Last firmware update for my TV was November 2019, and they're connected directly to each other (no intervening AV system). I can't think what changed ~2 weeks ago that would have affected the HDMI handshake.
Try a different cable if you can and if you're still having issues try a different port on your TV.

Yes, my problem was that I had the the dongle in a hub on the rear USB port with my external HDD in the second rear port. The HDD's proximity apparently caused significant interference, so I began putting the dongle in the front USB port, and since then the sound has been pretty steady, though there's still an occasional rare drop.
It's a bummer, I really liked having the front of the PS5 completely open. Also, I can't leave the dongle in all the time, because my toddler occasionally pulls it out and hides it somewhere.
Sometimes TVs and Playstations get in weird states. Try turning off completely both the TV and PS5 and unplugging them from the wall for a few minutes.
Oh, thanks! I've got the same setup so must be the same problem.
Just received a brand new PS5 today, hooray! However I am having an issue connecting this to my AVR (Marantz NR1510) and wondering if anyone else has had issues or has a suggestion to resolve.
Edit: learned that there's no real benefit to doing this so just plugged it into the tv.
As far as silence goes though mine makes a somewhat audible whirring sound. Not noticeable when playing a game but it's not the kind of dead silence I was expecting. Anyone else notice this with theirs?

I hesitate to get Wipeout Omega on PS5, has anyone played it? It's 35€ on the psn store so I hope it runs perfectly.
It has dynamic res to keep locked FPS, but I'm guessing that's not an issue on PS5. Otherwise one of the best collection of games. I know SkillUp is banned on Era, but you can look up his review on youtube.
Even more so if you have PSVR; it's a stunning experience when you're physically (well, virtually physically) in the cockpit.
Indeed. I totally forgot about PSVR. Really great that the PlayStation 5 is compatible with PlayStation 4 games.
I have had no luck with getting a support agent to do a refund for me. After typing in my name, my psn mail address and my psn username, a new screen tells me to wait and a few seconds later I land at the "postchat" screen which consists of an empty grey rectangle and a blue rectangle with Playstation in it. Tried Chrome and Edge. What can I do?
Do you have an adblocker installed in your browser? That sounds like the kind of an issue an adblocker would cause. Alternatively, maybe the support site is trying to pop up a new window for chat, but you have pop-up windows blocked in your browser settings. In Chrome, that would be:

It's probably the fan. This is not a dead silent system like Series X is. Very quiet, yes, but definitely not dead silent. Out of curiosity, though, do you hear the whirring even when a game isn't being played/suspended? Some people hear the fan whether a game is open or not, but I only hear it when a game is on or suspended.
The only noise I usually notice with mine is the disc spinning in the drive. But then I'm mostly playing PS4 games on it.
Finally got my PS5. Playing on my 55" LG OLED. My 6yr old loves Astro.
Demon's Souls and Spiderman look so damn good. And genuinely impressed by the controller.
Console also looks quite nice sitting next to the Series S on the shelf.
Biggest complaint is the system UI and PS Store layout are both so clunky. I haven't played my PS4 in over a year... was the PS Store always this bad?

If you think the PS5 Store being a native part of the OS is bad then you would probably throw a launch PS3 out the window lol
To be honest the sound appears to be nearly constant whether playing a game (can only hear during quiet parts) or just idle with nothing running. Impressive how quiet it is running a game, but I would be bothered leaving it on unless putting in rest mode.
Yeah, the PS5 store is really bad. It's so bare bones. It doesn't even have any categories beyond "PS4 games" and "PS5 games". And in the PS4 list are tons of VR games that I don't care about.
Anyone find dual sense skins or grips that a)are decent quality (stickybunny sucks) and b) will let the controllers continue to fit and charge on the official dock?
Also my matte black Cmp shell came today and it looks incredible compared to the stock white. Good investment for a dusty house like mine, too

Been coming up on a week now of owning and its been great, held out on playing alot of games like Spiderman, Ghost of Tsushima, Tlou2 , Days gone because i wasn't intrigued enough by the pro although i was hoping that tlou2, gt sport and horizon would get some sort of ps5 enhancement maybe on a system level was kinda disappointed with gt sport visually coming from forza and thought that horizon and tlou2 would have some sort of 60fps mode or at least native 4k but aside from that controller feels better than i expected console is just a few inches smaller than my gaming pc lol but i think it looks great cant wait for more games to drop.
Probably not. I just stopped using external storage all together since I've had it corrupt on 3 separate occasions. Just doesn't seem worth it since Sony can't figure their shit out.
Same. At first I thought it was quite noisy then realised my oak TV stand was resonating from the vibration. Put a mouse matt under the stand and the only noise now is the disc drive
Did it cause issues for you? If you haven't even tried just do it. Most likely you won't be in the minority experiencing issues. Most people have been using external storage without issues. Also check the thread about PS5 external storage, the threadmark in particular.
I had one hard crash shortly after launch while playing Demon's Souls and downloading Jedi: Fallen Order to the external drive, and haven't tried since. I'll check the other thread though, thanks!
Welp, lol. Thank you!
Same here; had mine plugged in since launch day. I think once, early on, the PS5 wouldn't start up, and when it finally did (don't remember what I did), I had to rebuild the database. Which worked without issues. I'm using a Samsung T5.
I thought this was the case as well, so I stopped using rest mode and still got a corrupted HDD. So then I tried ejecting & disconnecting it before shutting it down, eventually, same thing. Corrupted.
It's that WD 4TB "gaming drive". Anyone else using that? Is there a list of HDDs & reported issues?
I've been using a seagate expansion 2tb along with rest mode.
My attitude with them is even if there are issues I would rather hit them all early while it's still on warranty.
Don't see the point of avoiding it because a few people had issues when it could eventually turn out that those with issues have faulty hardware that one day when everyone's saying its fine will plug a drive in a poof just outside the Rearsby period.
Best external storage for PS4 games on PS5 ?
I was looking to do this with Black Friday sales looming but it's sad to see how it currently works on the PS5. I'm currently just using the 1TB regular SSD in an enclosure which just worked as promised from a PS4 console. The only issue I had was Yakuza 7 not loading and giving a CE something...

There's a thread somewhere.
Common theory is that it's certain usb sata chipsets causing the issues
Apparently a generic $10 bluetooth dongle will work, but I haven't tried it. A bigger name brand is advertising that their dongle works with PS5:
Some test results here: https://www.expertreviews.co.uk/external-hard-drives/1412996/best-external-hard-drive-for-ps5
It's not the improvement I would have anticipated tbh but I've still got an SSD plugged into mine rather than a HDD
Thanks! This is kind of what I was hoping to see. I think I'll get a desktop external HDD for the 7200rpm. WD has a 4TB one for about $90.
I just called Asus customer service and they said their bluetooth dongle will not work with consoles, so I guess I am gonna have to go for this one specifically saying it will work with Ps5. Thanks
In my case, all the games I have played have greatly reduced loading times on an SSD compared to an HDD. I did a comparison of 3 of my games that are famous for having long initial load times. In some instances, a whole minute of loading is removed.
HDD
Red Dead Redemption 2.
Loading to overworld 1:31
Fast travel to St Denis 53s
Loading into St Denis 1:43
Final Fantasy XV
Loading to overworld 1:25
Grand Theft Auto V
Loading to overworld 01:33
SSD
Red Dead Redemption 2.
Loading to overworld. 35s
Fast travel to St. Denis 24s
Loading into St. Denis 50s
Final Fantasy XV
Loading to overworld 23s.
Grand Theft Auto V
Loading to overworld: 14s
The improvement is so drastic I just can't go back to an HDD to store my games.
Still on Sekiro. Plays great on PS5 and the game itself is just one of the best last gen.
When I initially got it I played Miles Morales, Astro, and Bugsnax, which are all PS5 exclusives (or, in the case of Bugsnax, has a specific PS5 version). Since then I've been whittling down my PS4 and PSVR backlog, and I'm perfectly happy with my PS5 being the best way to play PS4 games at the moment. After all, I've been through a number of console generations, and that's always the case - there's only a smattering of new-gen games I'm interested in playing in the first year or more. In the case of the PS4, I basically didn't play it for the first year, since it didn't offer any backwards compatibility.
I've finished all of the native PS5 games I picked up aside from Warhammer (as far as ARPG dungeon divers go it's about as mediocre as the genre gets, I simply lost interest after about five hours).
I am waiting on the PS5 update for The Avengers (drops tomorrow) to see if it improves things enough to where I'd want to invest time into it. If not, I plan on playing Minute of Islands on my PS5, which also releases tomorrow, for them sweet trophies.
Anyone here familiar with headsets? I need to update my headset as my current set is old as dirt. I'm currently debating between The SENNHEISER PC38X or the SteelSeries Arctis 7P Wireless I want a set that can hopefully take advantage of the PS5s 3D audio feature and has good microphone quality. The Arctic wireless feature is tempting but considering I can simply plug my headset into my controller it's not a huge advantage. Open to potential other options also, these are just the two I've had recommended the most recently.
