The DualShock 4 controller for the PlayStation 4 features an audio port to plug in your headset. Headsets are primarily intended for voice chat, but you can also use them as your primary audio output source.
- To change the audio output, connect the headset to your DualShock 4 controller and go to Settings.
- Next, select Sound and Screen, click Audio Output Settings, and select Output to Headphones.
- Select All Audio, instead of Chat Audio, to make the change.
N.B. This option is only available when a headset is connected to the controller. It will also automatically mute the sound on your TV.

- How do I make all sound come through the headset?
Amplify 8 years ago#1 Just got my PS4 today and I can hear other voices through the headset, but how do I make ALL sound come from the headset and the tv? |
beadlehands 8 years ago#2 It's somewhere in the settings on the PS4 home screen. Can't remember
exactly, but it isn't hard to find. Also, i think you need to have headphones plugged in for the option to appear. Dish |
WildGoose2K12 8 years ago#3 Hold the PS button in the middle of your controller to get the menu to come up that allows you to turn the console off. In there somewhere is "adjust devices" in that menu you can edit what sound (chat, all, etc) comes through the headset. You can also adjust the volume. |
Ghost_Turtle (Moderator)8 years ago#4 You cant have the game volume come through the TV and headphones if your headphones are only conected to your controller. One of the other. Rofl House |

While in a Party:
Party Settings>>>Chat Audio>>>Prioritize Party Chat.
However this doesn't completely disable all game audio. It just boosts chat volume when someone is talking.
You can also choose Adjust Audio mix and slide it all the way towards Party Audio but again, it doesn't totally silence game audio.
Also:
Settings>>>Devices>>>Audio Devices>>>Output to Headphones
This one is a little weird. I don't know if you have Turtle Beach, Astro, Triton, etc. headphones. It can mess with the mix depending on what is happening.
These options may not suit your needs, so perhaps just go into the individual game's settings and turn off or turn down the game audio directly? Some headsets let you prioritize game and chat audio on the headset or base itself, if that's an option for you. Again, I can only go based on the headphones I'm using. To lower or cancel game audio in the headphones, I do it with my headset's Mixamp.
I feel like there used to be another setting that handled this, but it's gone after an update...
