Some people prefer to use a Bluetooth speaker with their PS4 instead of a regular speaker. Similarly, gamers that like to have some sound, but don’t want to wear headphones, can use a Bluetooth speaker.
But the big question is, can you connect a Bluetooth speaker to PS4?
You cannot directly pair PS4 and a Bluetooth speaker. You can connect using a 3.5mm aux cable or through an optical cable using an adaptor or Bluetooth transmitter. If your speaker has an aux input, you can connect it that way. If not, you’ll need to get an adaptor or Bluetooth transmitter.
In this article, I’ll show you two different ways to connect a Bluetooth speaker to PS4 as well as my favorite speakers for PS4.
How to connect a Bluetooth speaker to PS4?
Method 1: Connect with Aux cable
In order to connect any speaker with PS4, you need to get an auxiliary cable.
Once you get the Aux cable you have to connect one end to the PS4 controller and the other to your speaker. And make sure your speaker is turned On.
Next, go to setting on PS4 and scroll down to Devices
Then Audio devices and output devices. Here make sure the audio device is set to “headphones connected to controller”.
And lastly Set Output to headphones to All Audio. That is it…
Method 2: Connecting Bluetooth speaker to PS4 using Bluetooth transmitter
In case you do not want to use an aux cable and looking for a method on how to connect a Bluetooth speaker to ps4 without an aux then you can use a Bluetooth transmitter.
This is the Best and most recommended method to connect your Bluetooth speaker with PS4.
In order to connect via Bluetooth, you will need a Bluetooth transmitter. If you already have a transmitter that is perfect otherwise you can buy one from the local market as well as online.
But keep one thing in mind that the transmitter you choose should have a compatible plug that can be inserted into the PS4 controller.
I would suggest ugreen Bluetooth 4.2 transmitter with an optical plug.
The transmitter will receive the audio signal from the PS4 via an aux or optical port and then it will broadcast that signal to the speaker via Bluetooth.
Just follow the simple steps below to connect your Bluetooth speaker with PS4 via Bluetooth.
Step 1: First of all, plug the Bluetooth transmitter into the aux port or optical port of your PS4. If you have uGreen Bluetooth transmitter plug-in to the optical port.
Step 2: Now turn on the transmitter as well as the speaker and then pair them. Some speakers and transmitters feature a button in order to enter the Bluetooth pairing mode while others will do it automatically. So if you found your speaker and PS4 are not able to connect even though both are On, then put your speaker and transmitter into Bluetooth pairing mode.
Step 3: Once both devices are successfully paired, you will start hearing the audio from your PS4 on the speaker.
That’s it you are done! Now you can enjoy the sound of your favorite games on a Bluetooth speaker.
