Razer Thresher 7.1 on ps5

aeroPhloxresources275i can’t select via ps5 settings to use the audio output?? Doesn't it appear as an output option when you press the PS button on the controller and navigate to the audio settings? For me it appears as the default option (but, as I mentioned, the optical cable is connected, don't know if it makes a difference on this case)

Razer Thresher 7.1 on ps5

aeroPhloxresources275hey, i got a ps5 and an Thresher 7.1 but i cant pair it? Its not possible to select audio input on the ps5 to the headset? Do you have a solution maybe? Thnx That's odd... AFAIK you should be able to pair it, but without the optical cable connection, audio quality will be inferior, and you probably will lose the ability to do voice chat. While on the subject, I have some good news: I did finally manage to test my crazy idea (optical out from TV + Toslink splitter to Thresher's dongle), and it worked! =) (at least audio quality is the same it was on PS4 as far as I can "see" -- haven't tested audio chat yet though).

Thanks for the feedback. It should work as advertised, but please do let us know how this goes. The more reliable info we have, the better. Cheers! PortlandOrangeJETgeo295Hi, I own Razer Thresher for PS4 and like all of you I've tried to make them work on PS5, with only the USB device the sound was poor but then I bought the ASTRO HDMI splitter and today I've tried to set it up and now I can hear game sound very well. Tonight I'm going to test the microphone and party audio and then I'll let you know.

Hi all, hope you all had a great Christmas. Just for the record, YouTube just suggested me this video that suggests my theory (using tv's optical audio port) will work (aside from the splitter, I hope it doesn't introduce any lag). Fingers crossed!

Yeah, I also have serious doubts it will work. I will give it a try though, since these splitters are reasonably cheap, and I doubt I will be able to get a hand on these Astro adapters anytime soon (my guess is that they will be pretty expensive and hard to find here in Brazil). Also, I might be wrong, but if I recall correctly optical audio doesn't include voice chat -- at least I don't recall hearing it on the home theater ('m really not sure). Anyway, I will give it a try once my PS5 finally arrives (scheduled for Feb 3), and let you guys know. In the meantime, any other feedback -- positive or negative -- is welcome ;-) Cheers! Canarypolyflow807You're welcome. I do follow your point. To answer your question though, I honestly have to say I don't know. I would guess not, for the reason you'd probably find yourself with all sorts of problems in terms of receiving both the chat audio and game audio simultaneously - and without any faults or flaws. Did you ever get to use Astro's HDMI

Razer Thresher 7.1 on ps5

Thanks for the feedback @Canarypolyflow807 . These are not good news, but it is important to be sure about what to expect. And, to be honest, I was expecting something like this... I've been thinking about this crazy idea: I have a Samsung tv that has an optical audio port (which I am using as input to my home theater). Would Thresher work if I put a Toslink splitter and plugged one of its outputs to the Thresher USB dongle? Essentially I would be deceiving it to believe the audio is coming from the PS5, when in reality it will be coming from tv. Does it make any sense?

Also, as far as I could understand from the comments on this official (somewhat old) Sony post on the Playstation blog, headsets that rely on optical cable for sound might work on the PS5, but voice chat will not be mixed with game sound (and sound quality will most likely be inferior). This seems to be consistent with information provided by Astrogaming on the previous post.

For the record: Astro owners are in better shape than us: Astrogaming has provided detailed official information about compatibility with next-gen consoles, and they will even provide firmware upgrades (along with an "HDMI adapter") to ensure forward-compatibility...

That sucks. Even though this answer was about the Xbox Series X, I doubt the PS5 will be any different. Damn it. So, I guess I'll have to sell my Thresher along with my PS4 Pro when I get the PS5. ... and spend more money on a headset for it.

Same doubt here... I would very much like to hear a reliable answer, ideally from a Razer rep. I found this thread on Reddit (for Razer Thresher Ultimate, though), and some people are testifying that, yes, it is compatible, even without the optical cable. Don't know if it is trustworthy...

Thresher 7.1 for PS4 randomly beeps and sometimes turns off

Razer.CazielI'll need the S/N and just a heads up, you'll need a Windows PC to update the firmware if we find one that could fix this particular issue. I have sent you a PM with all the numbers I could find -- including S/N. As for using Windows to upgrade the firmware, don't worry, I'll find a suitable PC to do it. Thanks for the heads up anyway ;-)

Thanks for your reply. I have never tried it on a PC, so I really can't tell, sorry (also, PC runs Linux, so, no luck there). I am not sure which number you want exactly (P/N?), so I will send you a photo, hope that helps. If you need any additional info, please let me know.
