Buy a PC. The PS5 ain't worth it anymore.

I’ve got a ps5 with disc collecting dust if you’re interested?

I am planning to jailbreak anyway, no way am I giving sony a dime, other than the hardware.

No, even less so now between its inflated price and the potential rise of AnyPS5

A computer at least will provide you with infinitesimally greater utility than a console

The Pro wasn't worth it at the original price, less so at the inflated price.

Is this purely a jailbreak, or can I take advantage of this to install linux on my ps5?

They deserve to be memed as hard as Xbox was over the Xbox One fiasco.

Or there should be a mandatory for the seller for you to have the option to sell it. Through their platform or some other transfer of ownership. This needs to become legislation.

If you have paid for it, you own it.

Good. Fuck em.

The other options were easy enough to be acceptable to consumers.

Psychological marketing and profit chasing.

How did we even get to this point ☹️

Talk about ownership. Digital games should be .iso or .mkv that have as much freedom as a disc. They should not be tied to any account. They should not expire. They should be transferable from the console to any media. There should be no network connection "dongle" in order to play a game or for the game to be able to run. And that should be the minimum requirement legal for a company be able to be digital only.

I'm not a gamer but I would think no sane person with human integrity would settle for less than what I said above. The same goes for music and movies and all digital product.

Thanks, I went down that switcher road and somehow Sound Blaster came up. The G8 looks exactly like what I need. Two USB inputs, one doubling as power and optical out. That way I could repurpose an old soundbar. I will try that.

My setup currently is ps5 into my monitor, my monitor has an aux out that I feed into my PC. Then on the PC I have that aux going into the mic port. Then in windows I have it set to listen to this "mic" and now I get audio through my PC. This requires the PC to be on though. I've had this setup for years with a second computer and it works well enough, but the audio delay might be an issue for competitive gaming (never tried).

As long as you have a way to get aux out you can always get an audio mixer and just put that between your PC/ps5 and audio device.

I have a modern amp I got online and some old RCA speakers from a 90s record player. Composite input from PC into the amp, optical input from the PS5 also into the amp. They can play audio through the same speakers at the same time. 😎

The amp also can connect via bluetooth; but bluetooth audio fucking sucks when trying to game. It's always cutting out or popping or getting distorted.

Not really a similar setup but I do work with home audio a lot. Assuming the speakers you want to use have either jack or RCA connectors, what you're looking for is a cheap analog mixer or an audio interface. For instance, I use the Arturia MiniFuse 2 to split audio properly, but it's basically a simple 2 in 1 out device. If you only have two jack plugs there are very simple jack splitter cables that do the same but don't give you the option to set gains per input. Doesn't have to matter.

What makes it more difficult is that the PS5 does its best audio over HDMI, so you'd either need an audio extractor before the ARC or just use the headphone jack.

Or, if your monitor has a jack output (not headphone) you could send A+V to your monitor from both your PS5 and PC over HDMI and plug your speakers into the monitor. This however will make the monitor the de facto audio interface meaning it might diminish audio quality, although it's still better than headphone jacks.

A pair of self amplified studio monitor or bookself speakers with multiple inputs. Edifier makes some decent ones without breaking the bank. Most PC specific speakers won't have multiple inputs. You could also just get a cheap switcher since presumably you're just switching stereo audio?
