As the title says. I want to be able to receive audio from both the PC and PS4 on one headset. Am I able to do this with the chords the headset came with? Or do I have to purchase a mixamp? And if a mixamp, which one?

Yeah need optical cable. But there's mention of an adapter for optical to 3.5mm in the manual.

Need optical cable to 3.5mm like this

Aux is listed as input so should work with PC.

This should work but do some research to be 100% sure. It has 3 hdmi inputs and an hdmi output for your display and a headphone 3.5mm jack.

Another option is an AVR but price and space might not agree.

I was looking into this recently: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014H2W1YO/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza
Would this be a good option?

Would be good to use that after the Hdmi switcher to boost the headphones.

If went the AVR, it already has an amp so wouldn't need that.

I'd try just the Hdmi switcher first because it too might have a dac to boost audio so it'll probably be fine. If you find volume too low then go for the mixamp.

I'm assuming you're not thinking of using that mixamp to combine PS4 + PC's Hdmi. You still need Hdmi out for the display which the Hdmi splitter does.

Should have asked first, just realised. How are you getting audio from PC? And are you using one display between them?

Somehow i assumed you were using your graphic card's audio for audio via hdmi. If PC's audio was connected via 3.5mm jack and PS4 (not slim) via optical then the mixamp you're looking at should work.

My PC doesn't have HDMI. But my monitor does.

I have one ASUS monitor that's connected to my PS4. While another AOC is connected to my PC. I'm currently using the internal speakers the PC has and it's not all that great quality. I'm using the HyperX CA headset that's connected to the Asus monitor and not my controller because that's the only way OBS picks up the gameplay audio.

Would I need two of those 3.5mm cables?

Does your Ps4 have optical out?

What sort of PC, what kind of internal speakers? Or do you mean monitor speakers? List specs.

If your PC has audio jacks like this then a male to male 3.5mm extension cable i mentioned earlier would connect from the green plug to the mixamp

I see the optical port on the back of my PS4. Would I need to purchase some optical cable?
