I had an issue with my Razer Barracuda and my PS5

I’ve just bought a pair of Barracudas Everything was perfect for like 1 day, then they just didn’t connect to my PS5 (using the USB-C dongle). I’m sure there’s a bug because the barracudas turned off automatically every time I tried to connect them to the console using the dongle… I searched some people with the same problem and I realized that a lot of us just hate the Barracuda connectivity. To fix it all I made was Settings > Sound > Audio Output > Turn Off “Switch Output Device Automatically”, and that’s all. Now everytime i turn on the PS5 I’ve to connect them manually… But that really solved my problem with the headphones.

When I saw this I decided to try it out to see if it would work, because I have this issue. I tried it and it was about to work but then it said that this device is unsupported and after that it started turning off by itself afterwards. And I will say that I am trying to use bluetooth and not the 2.4. Any other solutions?

Worked well for me after I did a firmware update. It will update the dangle as well. After the dongle gets updated you need to use a usb a to usb c cable or the dangle for it with it. Wierd it doesn't work on USB c.

I had the same issue with my Barracudas on PS5. The fix is simple: go to Settings → Sound → Audio Output → turn OFF ‘Switch Output Device Automatically’. After that, just select the Barracuda dongle manually when needed — works perfectly!”

I’m trying to connect via 3m cord. The ps5 reads that there are headphones connected, but there is no audio. Any suggestions?
