Now check and you will surely be able to play with the USB headphones, although before that, make sure to configure the sound output well.
- Once you have connected your USB headphones to your PS4 you must press the PS button to access the quick menu of the console and you will go to "Adjust sound and devices".
- Now Select the option «Output to Headphones » and by default those connected to the console must be output.
- You must also select «All audio» so that the audio from the console comes out through your headphones, but also the sound of those who speak to you in the online games you play.
It is done! You will easily have connected the USB headphones to your PS4 in a matter of minutes.
