PS5 Update Boosts DualSense Sound and Mic

The recent PlayStation 5 system update has made significant improvements to the DualSense controller's audio features. Enhancements include louder speaker volume with adjustable settings, and advanced noise cancellation for the microphone, which now better minimizes background noises like button presses. Share Screen interactions have also been updated, letting users draw or add emojis, currently only on the console but coming to the PlayStation App later in the month. Additionally, the PS5 now allows users to adjust the brightness of the power indicator light to their preference. The announcement of the PS5 system update coincided with Sony revealing the new games joining PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium in March.

The latest PS5 update has enhanced the DualSense controller's speakers to be louder with adjustable volume, and the microphone received advanced noise cancellation to reduce background noise during gameplay.

The DualSense controller is a flagship feature of Sony's PlayStation 5 gaming console. Launched alongside the PS5, it introduced various new features like haptic feedback and adaptive triggers that aimed to increase immersion in games. It represents one of several hardware innovations that Sony has brought to the console gaming experience, with this latest update further refining its functionality and user customization options.
