I’ve tried to have my PS4 audio output to my AirPods but I can’t seem to get it to work, although I have no problem with eARC’ing the PS4 to the HomePods. Is this possible? If so, what about using the AirPods as a microphone?

Edit: For additional context when switching to the PS4 input with connected AirPods no audio plays at all. I have to return to the Apple TV and disconnect the AirPods manually (taking them off doesn’t appear to work). Also, I had to turn eARC back on (disabled by a recent update perhaps?) and now I can no longer control my volume while the ps4 is the selected input

Hardware:

  • Latest ATV (eARC on)
  • LG C2 (eARC on)
  • Latest AirPod Pros
  • HomePod Gen 2 x2
  • PS4

    I know this isn’t what you asked but I have an LG C2 as well and you can connect the AirPods to the TV over Bluetooth for audio on the AirPods, I do it often and I think it works pretty well for my PS3, PS4 and 5

      Thanks. Does this work for the mic? Also, does this provide Spatial Audio when done this way? If not, sadly I’d rather just use my HomePods
