If you’re hearing yourself through your friends’ voice chat on PS5, it could be due to several reasons. Here are some common causes and solutions:
1. Mic Feedback: If your microphone is too close to your speakers or headset, it can cause sound to loop back, resulting in you hearing your own voice. This is known as mic feedback.
Solution:
– Lower the volume on your headset or TV.
– Use a headset with a built-in microphone that isolates sound better.
– Adjust the positioning of your microphone further from your speakers.
2. Microphone Sensitivity: If your microphone sensitivity is set too high, it may pick up more background noise, including your own voice.
Solution:
– Go to the PS5 settings and lower the microphone sensitivity under the sound settings.
– You can also try using the “Noise Cancelling” feature if available on your headset.
3. Party Chat Settings: Sometimes, the audio settings in your party chat may not be optimized, leading to echo or feedback sounds.
Solution:
– In your party chat settings, check if the “Microphone Monitoring” option is enabled. If it is, try disabling it to stop hearing yourself.
– Alternatively, ensure that your party’s voice chat settings are configured properly for all participants.
4. Network Issues or Latency: Occasionally, network issues or high latency can cause a delay in voice transmission, which may result in you hearing your own voice back.
Solution:
– Check your internet connection for stability.
– Try using a wired connection (Ethernet) instead of Wi-Fi for a more stable connection.
5. Echo in the Game: In some multiplayer games, the game itself might have audio settings that cause an echo, leading to you hearing your own voice.
Solution:
– Adjust in-game audio settings to reduce or mute any environmental or in-game voice feedback.
6. Faulty Hardware: A malfunctioning headset or controller can sometimes cause feedback or echo sounds.
Solution:
– Test with a different headset or controller to see if the problem persists.
– Ensure your headset is properly connected and functioning.
By going through these steps, you should be able to identify and fix the issue of hearing yourself in voice chats on PS5.
