Razer Thresher 7.1 PS4 - PS4 Doesn't recognise 7.1

Hello,

I bought Thresher 7.1 PS4 headset, everything is great about it, but, there is one concern. When I start The Last of Us in game audio options there is only 2.0 channel to select. My friend has Astro A50 and when he plays TLoU 5.1 sound option is available. What is the reason behind that Thresher are 7.1 but game does recognise them only as 2.0. I connected them via optical cable and all is set in settings as it should be. Also I get surround sound by pressing and holding volume button. But still for the game and PS4 headset is only 2.0. Is there any firmware update or something that I don't know of and should make?

Thanks for any help

Ok I found solution. The thing was, that PS4 set in Linear PCM has only 2.0 ch, so if I did everything according to starter guide I could only get stereo sound. In settings now I have selected optical output > Dolby 5.1 and Audio format > Bitstream Dolby. Also if you have selected All audio instead of Chat only in output to headphones settings you'll get only 2.0. After setting all this way everything works fine and in game sounds are way clearer when using surround mode. Now I'm fully satisfied!

Cheers!
