PS5 does not have Optical Audio Dio port

Once again we rely on second hand information to better understand the PlayStation 5, as Sony is not saying to come out and tell us what is planned for the platform, is it? So according to The Verge, the Japanese giant’s Next-Gen console will not have optical audio Dio port; It’s hardly surprising that the PS4 Slim is also below standard.

The website reported on how the older Astro headsets would work on the PS5 and confirmed Tidbit. To accommodate players with older pairs of headphones, the company will introduce an “HDMI-to-optical audio Dio splitter that will allow your headset to interface with the PS5 without the need for any additional firmware”.

This will cost $ 40, but if you enter the serial code for your existing Astro headphones in the company’s website, you’ll get a 15 discount. While some may be disappointed with the news, the optical audio Dio is now an old standard – it was used almost like the PlayStation 2 almost 20 years ago – so it’s not a big surprise that Sony decided to move on.
