Anyone else have the Pulse 3D sound completely drop out now and then? Really annoying when it happens during speech.
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.Last PS5 firmware update was 3 Feb 2021 (so about 6 weeks ago).

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.Weird.

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.
I tried it. Runs smooth. Best wipeout experience.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.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.
Even more so if you have PSVR; it's a stunning experience when you're physically (well, virtually physically) in the cockpit.[re: Wipeout Omega:] I tried it. Runs smooth. Best wipeout experience.
Indeed. I totally forgot about PSVR. Really great that the PlayStation 5 is compatible with PlayStation 4 games.Even more so if you have PSVR; it's a stunning experience when you're physically (well, virtually physically) in the cockpit.
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.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?
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.As far as silence goes though mine makes a somewhat audible whirring sound.

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 lolBiggest 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?
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.It's probably the fan. This is not a dead silent system like Series X is.

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 driveThe only noise I usually notice with mine is the disc spinning in the drive. But then I'm mostly playing PS4 games on it.
Been fine since day one.
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.
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 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.So...is it finally safe to plug in my external HDD?
I've been using a T7 without any problems, but I do NOT use Rest Mode. Take that for whatever it's worth.
I've been using a seagate expansion 2tb along with rest mode.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.
There's a thread somewhere.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?
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-ps5Anybody know if an external SATA SSD is appreciably faster with loading times on PS5 than a regular external HDD? Wondering if it's even worth continuing to use my 500GB SSD or if I should just pick up a bigger 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.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
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.

Still on Sekiro. Plays great on PS5 and the game itself is just one of the best last gen.What are you guys playing? After Demon's Souls, and Worms, and Bugsnax I haven't really messed with the 5 too much. I did finish Yakuza 7 on it, but it was the ps4 version. Kind of hyped for the Oddworld game.
