I am someone who generally likes to play games with headphones, to avoid bothering the people I live with (and I find I just prefer it) However the headphone input socket on my TV is broken.

Is there anyway to get the audio from the PS4 without going through the TV? I can't see a headphone jack on the PS4 but wondered if anyone knew of a different way - is there anything you can do with the controller?

Plug headphones into controller

The PS4 Wireless Gold Headset uses a wireless dongle and when in use, the audio stops going to the TV. You also get a cable to connect it to the controller and the same thing happens.

In fact I think if you connect any headset to the controller you can set the audio output device to "headphones connected to controller" (think it happens automatically) and then it stops coming from the TV.

@ian280291: @jesus_phish: I had a mess with the controller but it didn't seem to work. I will give it another go.

It works! It was the settings being hidden in controllers rather than audio which was baffling me. Thanks guys.
