Hello all, I have bought new TV Philips 58PUS8505/12 and I am trying to solve audio problem.
I have older but still usable speakers which are better then stock TV speakers. But when I plug them to TV I cannot control volume directly and every time I want to adjust volume I have to go to settings which is annoying.
So I tried to connect usb audio sound card, which was not working at all till I went to developer options and turned off "Disable USB audio routing". Now sound works ok and I can control it with TV controller directly.
But when I turned PS4 connected to TV via HDMI it does not respond to TV sound volume. I can mute TV and sound from PS4 is still played from speakers connected to usb sound card.
Any idea what I can do about it?
I even tried to use Bluetooth audio dongle connected to TV usb, but it was turning on during night for no reason. Maybe TV waking up in background to check something, don't know.
I have no idea how integrated android tv audio works but you can connect usb sound card directly to ps4 then control the volume from ps4's quick settings menu. It might be too much hustle but in return you'll get zero delay audio.
You can get another usb sound card and an aux switch to make things little simpler. Also avoid super cheap sound cards that makes static noise on ps4.
