Q: Headphone Having Noise

A： If the headset makes noise when used on computer, try as below;

Method 1

• Reconnect the headset on the computer
• Noise from headphones is usually caused by an incorrect connection to the computer. Especially when you hear continuous low-sounding noise, make sure that the headset is properly connected to the computer. In addition, the following conditions can also cause noise:
• The plug is not fully inserted
• Wrong plug
• A part of the speaker cable is unplugged

Please pay attention to the above points, unplug the cable connected to the computer, and reconnect it.

Method 2

• Clean the audio plug As dust and dirt adhere to the audio plug, additional electrical signals may be generated and noise may be heard. So please try to clean the audio connector that the device is connected to.
• In addition, when reconnecting, make sure that the cable is correctly inserted into the interface.

Method 3

• Use headphones away from home appliances  If the headset itself or the cable connected to the computer is near other household appliances, the electrical signals generated by the household appliances may affect them.
• To determine the influence of electrical signals in the surrounding environment, turn off your home appliances and check whether the earphones are noisy. If the cause of the noise comes from home appliances, it is recommended to keep the earphones and cables away from other home appliances as far as possible.

Method 4

• Lower the volume appropriately
• Adjust the volume of the computer and headphones. If the volume is too high, the sound will be distorted and broken. So please adjust the volume of the computer and earphones.

Q: When Voice Chatting Not Allowed

A: It may caused by temporary failure or any other setting problem, please try the following operation to find out the proper reason;

• Clean up the interface Dirt or rust may lead to poor connection. The headphone jack may not work properly. Try to rotate the jack, clean the interface and other operation to improve the poor contact and then reconnect it. Check “Microphone Volume”, “Headphone Output” and “Volume Control” from the audio device page.
• If the other party cannot hear the sound, or the sound is severely ripped, it is likely that there is a problem with the “microphone volume”. Increase or decrease the volume of the microphone until the microphone input audio remains at the “appropriate” value. If you cannot hear your own voice, please check the “Volume Control”. When the volume is too low, you may not hear any sound. In some cases, please try to switch the “headphone output” to set not only chat audio or listen to all audio.
• Restart PS4 again, much error can be fixed by restarting.
