Knowing how to mute your DualSense controller is invaluable information since the controller’s microphone automatically turns on each time you switch your console on. The microphone within the controller can be really handy, allowing users without a headset to communicate with their friends while playing a game, but it’s still something that you should be able to opt out of.
If you would like to know how to mute your DualSense microphone, then make sure you check out our thorough step-by-step guide. We’re going to run through two easy methods, one of which involves using the mute button on the controller itself, and the other takes you through the PS5 settings. Keep reading to find out more.
What you’ll need:
- A PS5
- A DualSense controller
The Short Version
- Click the mute button on the DualSense controller
OR - Click the PS button
- Click on Microphone
- Press Mute
All you need to do to mute your entire system is to simply hold the Mute button on your DualSense controller for several seconds. It’s the horizontal button underneath the PlayStation Button (which is used for turning on and pairing the controller) and above the microphone icon that has a slash through it.
The Mute button will begin pulsing orange, which means that all PlayStation audio has been muted. This shortcut works with all PS5 audio coming from any source, including headphones, TV speakers, AV receivers, and soundbars. However, this method won’t mute the audio if you’re using a DualSense controller with a PC.
Keep in mind that just tapping the Mute button will only mute the DualSense controller’s built-in microphone. If you’ve done this, the Mute button will light up a solid orange rather than pulse orange. You’ll need to hold the button to activate the full system mute.
To unmute your PS5, simply tap the Mute button again, or press the PlayStation button to bring up the Control Center. Then, from the bottom row, select the “Sound” option.
Once the pop-up appears, select “Turn Off Muting.”
That’s it! Enjoy the sweet silence of your muted PS5.
