A new update for the PS5 is coming out today that will improve the sound of your controller.

The PlayStation 5 system is now receiving an update from Sony, which is currently being handed out. By installing this update, the sound quality of your controller will be enhanced, screen sharing will become more immersive, and you will have the ability to modify the power indication. It has been more than a month since the beta version of System Update 9.00 was made available, and it is now included in the public software that was made available to PS5 subscribers on Wednesday.

Since the introduction of the PS5 system software version 24.02-09.00.00, there has been an improvement in the audio quality of controllers that use the DualSense and DualSense Edge technologies. During the time that the speakers are transmitting in-game sounds and voice chat, the volume of the controller speakers has been raised, which results in a sound quality that is more distinct. A further improvement has been made to the microphone that is included on the controller. The new “AI machine-learning model” that Sony has developed is believed to lower the amount of background noise that comes from button pushes and game audio, which eventually results in an improved voice chat experience. Sony has built this model.

In addition, the update contains modifications to the brightness of the power indicator on the PlayStation 5 (PS5). The specifications of its brightness may be adjusted by navigating to Settings > System > Beep and Light > Brightness. This will allow you to modify the brightness of the device. You have the option of selecting from three distinct settings: dim, medium, and bright (which is the default).

Through the use of the Share Screen tool, which also allows for the inclusion of pointers and emoji answers, you can broadcast your gameplay right from the console. A pointer may now be used by your live audience to indicate to you where they are situated on the screen. This capability was previously unavailable. Additionally, they have the opportunity to send emoji responses from the Share Screen, which highlight both your triumphs and failings in the game. Emojis may be included in both positive and negative responses. By default, the functionalities are enabled; however, hosts have the opportunity to disable them by following the instructions that are provided in the settings for the Share Screen function.

Additionally, the 9.00 version has emojis that are encoded using Unicode 15.1 which is also provided. Enhancements to the system software, DualSense gamepads, PlayStation VR2 headset and controllers, and Access controller are examples of some of the improvements that are less accurate and detailed than others. These modifications provide enhancements to both the levels of performance and stability.

If you are not prompted to update the software automatically, you can start the download of the program by going to Settings > System > System Software > System program Update and Settings and selecting “Update System Software” from the list of options that appear under “Update Available.” This will allow you to initiate the download of the program.
